The Unearthly — Dorothy Daniels

DEAD HAND

Hope Owen came home after her mother's death ... home to find a house of strangers rather than the family she thought she knew. The people were the same ... but their reaction to her presence was totally unexpected. And before Hope would be accepted into the house she had always considered her own, she found that she must pass the approval of a woman who was dead more than twenty years!

For Vera Fraser, her aunt, did nothing without first consulting her mother. Vera contacted Althea's ghost through the medium of her daughter, Elizabeth ... but when they began the seance that night, other spirits were released into the room ... including the spirit of death! And Death proved to be a greedy guest, leaving his fearful mark, and soon dead Althea was joined by Elizabeth ... and then another. Would Hope be the next?
