Shadowed and only dimly visible in the thick London mist on the bank of the river Thames, stood the great house called Edenhythe. And from the moment Rachel entered it, she knew fear. Penniless and haunted by the recent tragedy of her husband's mysterious death, Rachel had nowhere else to turn save her unknown in-laws, the Harwoods. But cold, handsome Esmond Harwood seemed to take an almost sinister dislike to her, and except for his young brother, Luke, who vowed to help her, the others at Edenhythe appeared to share Esmond's feelings. Slowly, surely, like the fog that shrouded the house each evening, a dark veil of incredible terror was cast about her...

In the time-ravaged castle, only a frightened young woman stood between a devious killer and an innocent child... "I continued to climb until I reached the spot where I was to meet Craig, near the neat piles of felled trees. From my vantage point I had a superb view of the young Laird’s estate. Quite nearby I heard a noise. Not a natural sound of the great Highlands forest: this was like a soft footfall, a pebble crunched beneath a shoe. I glanced around, but everything was still once more. Suddenly the quiet was broken by a curious squealing, a protesting noise. In a horrifying split second I realized that the great pile of logs was falling.... Incredibly, I was spared....Yet now I was absolutely certain someone was determined to drive me away from Glengarron, and would even murder to achieve this end."
