Thicket of Terror — Georgia M. Shewmake

Geraldine Oaks never even knew she had an Uncle Richard. So she was quite surprised when, upon his death, he left her the Oaks Hotel near the Big Thicket in eastern Texas. Filled with ambition, Gerry vowed to make a big success of the place.

But an aura of hostility and danger surrounded her from the time she arrived at the hotel. She first felt it as she drove along the Big Thicket, with its eerie nigh sounds and mysterious lights. She felt it when talking to the handsome hotel guest, Mark Forrest, with his strangely cold tone. And she felt it most of all on a night of terror arranged by an unknown enemy. A night that culminated in a chase through the Thicket...perhaps to the death.
