Dragon's Eye — Jennie Melville

I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST SAW MARKABY. I NEVER FORGOT. I WANTED IT DESPERATELY. NOW TEN YEARS LATER IT WAS MINE.

When Kate Melrose first fell in love with the strange old mansion on Dragon's Eye, an island off the North Sea coast, she felt she was fated to live in it. Now old Mr. Berwick had died and left it to her and she knew Markaby was her destiny. Beautiful, talented Kate, whose career as an actress showed such great promise. But Markaby did not mean the end of the theater for her. It became, in fact, a new beginning.

Then she met Jaimie Berwick, the old mand's grandson, and fell in love again. Only there was someone - or something - who did not want Kate to stay on Dragon's Eye, someone who wanted this badly enough to kill her, or frighten her to death....
