Strange Legacy — Ann Barron

Had she only imagined the past that haunted her? Or was there really a murderer hiding behind some dear, familiar face?

Five Fingers, the Garrison's island estate, lay like a tiny jewel under the brilliant Texas Gulf sun. To all appearances, Janne, heiress to the Garrison kingdom, was the girl who had everything -- youth, beauty, riches, and a glamorous family.

But behind the glittering wall of privacy that separated the Garrisons from the ordinary world, there lurked a shapeless, shadowy terror that had haunted Janne from childhood: mysterious "accidents" that had nearly taken her life... the dark silence about her mother's suicide... rumors of madness in the family's past.

Now, Janne's return after the sudden death of her husband had awakened the old horrors. There were new "accidents." Someone at Five Fingers wanted to kill her. But who? Why?

What murderous monster was hiding behind the smiling mask of love?
