Wharf Sinister — Alicia Grace
"YOU ARE GUILTY!"
So her Aunt Lavinia and the town of Glens Falls accused Rachel Mundy. Rachel had sinned in her birth, sinned in an early, tragic love. But she was young, beautiful and not beyond redemption. Teeming, tolerant New York would once more make happiness possible. Rachel was sure of it. Until, employed in a strange waterfront house in that very New York, Rachel was confronted by secrets even darker than those of her past. A young woman lived in that house, withered before her time. And there was Mr. Gilbert himself: did his charm mask an unknown menace? If so, how could Rachel love him? What was his relationship to his sinister man-servant Fentry? In terror, with no one to trust, Rachel knew she had to uncover the secrets of Southport Wharf, for they threatened not merely her happiness but her life!
