The Dark Hill — Rae Foley

Each of the three young men in the framed photograph belonging to Allan Drummond was to play a role for good or evil in Kate Forbes' life. Multimillionaire Fillmore Hatfield III would die, the victim of a brutal, senseless murder only hours after he had told her about receiving mysterious death threats. Tommy Eakins, an irresistible playboy, would give her reasons to mistrust him ever. When she felt herself succumbing to his practiced charms. And Allan himself, is a kindly sensible family friend, with the best intentions in the world would draw her into the orbit of murder.

When Kate and her eleven-year-old brother Mike were suddenly orphaned, Allan persuaded Tommy's father to give Kate a job in the Eakin's Travel Agency and he helped them to move into the tiny basement apartment in Greenwich Village. Then Mike disappeared and death hovered about Kate.
