He is managing a mountain retreat where Monica takes her new charge for a getaway - she hates him immediately. Strangely enough, Winifred recognizes the couple in another cabin. Soon Monica realizes that there is something very strange going on here. Her brakes fail ... later she almost drowns in the lake. And Stevens is becoming very protective of young Winifred. What do all these people have to do with Biddy's death, and what is really going on here?..."--Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Terror lurks in darkness : Kitty has the fright of her life one night when she takes what she is told is a short cut and ends up on a dead end street in the rain. And to make matters worse, there is a savage dog outside her car, causing her to wreck the front end trying to avoid it. Fortunately, the owner of the dog appears and calms the dog, then drives her home. But imagine Kitty's shock when she finds out that Sunny, the woman who told her about the short cut, is found dead later that night on the same road, her throat savaged. Of course, everyone hated Sunny, but that doesn't explain her strange death. And now Kitty's roommate, Ardis, has gone missing ... and two of her friends are asking her to lie about what she knows. No wonder inspector Doyle doesn't believe her story - she has no idea what to believe herself!"--Peovided by publisher. 505 0 $a Stairway to an empty room -- Terror lurks in darkness. 650 0 $a Murder $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Litchfield, Nicholas, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305015835.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1A6C47C369B11EAA59B8B3C97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
