About This Book

A mad woman...
A haunted child...
A dread secret that for fifty years stained the lives of guilty -- and innocent as well...

When young Emily Bowman is invited to Spain by her ancient and eccentric cousin Hannah to teach piano to her cousin's granddaughter, she is delighted. She has heard only some vague romantic tales about this side of the family, about the fabulous and beautiful Aunt Dolly whom she so closely resembles and who died tragically years before. Beyond that she knows nothing.

Not until the sinister atmosphere of that strange, dark household begins to close in about her does she become aware that something is wrong. And that she herself is slowly becoming the center of a new and terrifying chain of events that threatens not only her future...but her very life.
