Description
"Let Your Heart Be Troubled .. Let It Be Afraid." Patricia, the second wife of Egan LaSalle, is frightened when the anonymous not arrives. It is the fourth note in the four months she has lived at grim LaSalle Manor. Is it part of the mystery surrounding the first wife who fell to her death on their wedding night, leaving Egan a fortune? Why won't Egan discuss the notes with her? Is he being blackmailed over the death of his first wife? Or because of the young girl whose suicide was blamed on him? Patricia suddenly realizes her own life is in danger when a jar of acid almost falls on her head; then a ladder only she uses is sawed through. Gradually, Egan becomes a distant, secretive stranger. How can she convince him death is pursuing her in his ancestral home -- when she can't even convince herself he isn't the killer?
