The Glitter-Dust — Alice Dwyer-Joyce

Out of time, comes Mitchell Allington -- celebrated archaeologist and he meets Elizabeth Grant in a hospital staffroom… To get caught up with her in relentless enveloping shadows.

There is Anthony Rickady, too expert in criminology, who finds Elizabeth at last, lonely and in danger, in a house that is surely haunted by an uneasy ghost.

The house is owned by Mrs. Agnes Swan -- a woman made for murder.

Elizabeth finds herself the white queen in a game of chess, with no hope but of being swept from the board. There is an end game that cannot fail to hold the reader to the last move.

Yet maybe there will be another game, and it will all be played out again, life and love…and Glitter-dust.
