Hannah's Gate
Hannah's Gate--gracious Washington home or house of ill omen?

Claire Loving's has always been a troubled family. The political career of her grandfather was abruptly shattered, and the fall from wealth and social prominence irrevocably blighted the life of her mother, Dora. There are undercurrents to her parents' marriage of which Claire cannot help but be aware.

Gradually the house too begins to reflect the uncertainly and confusion all around as the country prepares to go to war. Within the once safe, familiar walls of Hannah's Gate, Claire hears echoes of old family scandals and the siren lure of dangerous secrets. Then, with her boyfriend Leigh overseas, leaving Claire alone and unprotected. Murder pays a call--not once but twice.

Bravely, Claire begins her own investigation into the deaths and soon is running scared, the next potential victim of a merciless assassin who has made Hannah's Gate into a personal killing ground.
