Fair Kilmeny

When Joan Quincey sees the words Fair Kilmeny on the fly-leaf of an old book of sermons, she feels a chill that deepens when she arrives at Witchwood to meet the family of her fianc, Cal Renshaw. In this placid 19th-century Cornish neighborhood, dangers arise that are rooted in the passions of the past. A light flickers by the pool where a witch was once drowned; strangers move across the moor to the abandoned farmhouse where Cals cousin was born. Attempted murder leads to tragedy, and over all broods the shadow of Fair Kilmeny, in whose small hands a web of violence is slowly spun.
