The Standish Place — Isabelle Holland

A DESERTED HOUSE GUARDS AND EVIL SECRET

Legacy of fear…

For more than one hundred years, the Standish Place has stood sentinel on the bluffs of Brooklyn Heights -- a decaying shell, now, of the elegant mansion it once was. When Antonia Moncrieff unexpectedly inherits it, she determines to make it into a home. But something -- or someone -- seems bent on preventing her…

In an odd and frightening sequence of events, Antonia finds herself the target of an unknown adversary; her room is ransacked, fire breaks out, someone close to her has a near-fatal fall. Worst of all, the man she fears discovers her new identity; while the man she loves, but up till now has always run from, is put in terrible danger…
