Samantha — Jean Carew

AFTER A NIGHT OF HORROR,

during which whe was witness to a hit-run killing on Long Island, Samantha Wood tried to forget the incident and turn her attention to plans for leaving New York and starting a new job as secretary to Massachusetts socialite Felicia Carter. Arriving at Bramble Tor, the Carters' lavish Berkshire estate, Samantha was horrified when she thought she recognized the Carters' handsome adopted son, Ross, as the driver of the hit-run car. But could she be sure?

Enjoying her job and the elder Carters' kindnesses, Samantha stayed on at Bramble Tor and soon found close friends in retired judge Henry Stafford and his nephew, Michael Wyler, an attractive young geologist. Samantha was delighted with Michael's interest in her, but she couldn't ignore the demands Ross was making on her time. Had her mind played tricks on her when she imagined him to be the hit-run driver? Was Ross geniunely falling in love with her, as he professed, or was he trying to make her fall in love with him just to feed his vanity?

Samantha would soon realize the danger she was in and try to escape from Bramble Tor. But would it be in time?
