Book Description
Ghostly visions...weird music...a phantom baby's cry...
When Jackie Forrest went to visit her great-aunt Elma at the lonely, rambling Retreat, she was not prepared for an old mystery - or physical danger to herself. The Retreat, now a guest house for indigent actors, was a monument to Elma's magician husband, Merlin Masters - but he had been dead these twenty years - murdered in his own home. Jackie soon found that no one was what he seemed: not Aunt Elma, and not Roddy McNeil, the quixotic young hoofer so taken with her. And what of handsome David Stanmore, obviously a man of breeding - why would he settle in a backwoods village? Menaced at every turn, Jackie knew she could not leave that house until she made it give up its grim secret - if it let her leave at all....
