Haunted Lady — Mary Roberts Rinehart

The Fairbanks Curse

When Hilda Adams came to the Fairbanks mansion as nurse-companion to old Eliza Fairbanks, she was warned Eliza was prey to sick fancies...insane fears...

But soon Hilda discovered that the evil obsessing the old lady was no spectre of madness...that no one in this house of hate and strange deception could be trusted, not even the disturbingly attentive and attractive Fairbanks heir...that the terrible secret that touched every life with fear was reaching out to claim Hilda as its helpless victim...
