To Margo Landon, Cornwall had a special magic. She had always wondered what her mother's childhood home was like, and now she would be seeing it for herself. On her deathbed, Wanda Landon had asked Margo to return a gold locket to Sir Henry Merton, Wanda's father, who had disowned her she married. But the joy of Margo's family reunion was marred before she even left New York. A recurring nightmare plagued her, and a curt letter she received from her aunt admonished her not to make the trip. Her journey to the manor was eerily unnerving, and she arrived thoroughly shaken. Entering the massive stone house for the first time, Margo knew that she had walked straight into danger.
I awakened to the horror of my own screaming. My fingers groped for the locket. It was there. He hadn't taken it. But how silly! He was only part of my terrible nightmares."
Excerpt
Dear Miss Llandon:
Your letter has been received at Merton Manor. I regret to inform you thatSir Henry Merton is a sick man. Please remember that. When Wanda, your mother, deserted him years ago, she was disinherited. A visit from you at this time would onlyworsen my father's condition.
Please do not endanger yourself by coming here, and please refrain from further correspondence.
Katherine Merton Noel
