The Secret Citadel
HAD THE TERRORS OF THE PAST RETURNED TO HAUNT HER?

It started as a simple deception, a change of name, a quick phone call, and lovely, twice-orphaned Chris Raines Conley was on her way to the old Hunicutt mansion, where her adoptive father had lost his life. Chris was entering a house of mystery and madness, a place where she'd become a victim of a local legend, doomed by the evil of a vengeful ghost.

Or was it some human fiend who stalked Chris Conley. Could it be Lydia, the insane matriarch of the Hunicutts? Her ethereal but violently jealous niece, Swan? Paul Winchester, the handsome, young writer, who seemed a bit too interested in Chris? Or Dr. Ridge D'Arcy, who looked at Chris with more than professional eyes?

The quarry in a deadly hunt, Chris's only safety lay buried in the past. If she failed to learn the Hunicutts' secret, her life might be the price…

Takes place in Northern California.
