Nurse Elaine and the Sapphire Star — Sharon Heath

The huge, brooding mansion known as Garde Manor housed a strange assortment of people. There was Sir Rufus, patriarch of the family, possessor of a fabulous jewel -- and ill to the point of death. And then there were his relatives: hovering, watching, waiting.

Into this strange group came Nurse Elaine Marsh. From the first, it was apparent to her that evil lurked in the shadows… But there were bright spots, too.

For there were two men who were in love with Elaine. And the time was approaching when she must make a choice.

Then -- after a night of terror and its aftermath -- she made her decision.
