The Searching Specter — Susan Claudia
IT WAS HER FIRST NURSING ASSIGNMENT AND ELLEN CLARKE HADN'T ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
It was too late now that she'd come to the secluded island, met its inhabitants, and seen her patient. Too late to ask:
WHY had the famous international banker rented a medieval castle so far from civilization when his son was dying...?
WHY had the family specifically requested an inexperienced nurse...?
WHY wasn't there even a remote physical resemblance between the two sons and their father...?
WHY was the young,handsome caretaker so secretive - and so ill-suited to the job?
For a patient terminally ill, Christian Grann looked exceptionally healthy. Ellen Clarke was beginning to fear that if he died, his death would be premature and premeditated.
