Hawkhaven. The very name sent a shiver of foreboding through Jill Manning. But she had agreed to spend her vacation there with Stephanie Kimble, an old acquaintance, and she meant to keep her word.

From the moment Jill entered the gloomy house, she was trapped in a web of fear. Little unexpected occurrences filled her waking hours with suspicions and her sleep with nightmares. And Stephanie had vanished from the place.

Jill was warned to leave, too. Yet nothing, not even the attention of the town's two most handsome, enigmatic bachelors, could divert her from her determination to learn the truth behind the events at Hawkhaven, a truth that would free her from fear...or kill her.
