Nurse in a Nightmare — Adelaide Humphries

An anonymous warning to get out of town or else was Dolores Saunders' “welcome” to Brookville, a warning the pretty nurse ignored, until a wild ride down the mountain convinced her someone really was determined to kill her.

Target Of Hate...

Two years of dating one man and getting nowhere had helped persuade Dolores Saunders to take the job as Head Supervisor of Brookville's small convalescent home. But from the moment she saw the town, nestled in a valley by a sparkling lake, Dolores knew she was going to like it. But someone in Brookville did not like Dolores, enough to send her an ugly anonymous letter and follow it up with threatening phone calls.

When the brakes on her car were tampered with, the nurse knew she could no longer ignore her tormentor...but who could she trust? Mr. Allen, the home's administrator? Dervin Kelly, a hot-tempered young lawyer who had a way of getting under her skin? Her landlady, Jan Garner? Or could one of them be the enemy who wanted her dead...?

Hero: Dervin Kelly
Heroine: Nurse Dolores Saunders
