At first, the job seemed a heaven-sent gift to lovely young Megan Royce. .. who desperately needed a helping hand. What could be better than having all the expenses of her imperative trip to Europe paid... in return for being the pleasant guest of a charming, imperious Contessa? But the situation changed rapidly as frightening complication piled on frightening complication. Megan's trip did not end in Paris as originally planned. It went on to Italy... to the beautiful but menacing old castle of Vellanti. And two questions loomed urgently on the starkly brooding horizon: what was the menace, and who the victim? The author's pseudonyms included Elsie Cromwell, Jane Gordon, and Lee Sheridan. Cromwell wrote popular fiction, non-fiction and cookbooks.
