- Synopsis
- When the special-delivery letter from California arrived, Jan Cummings was sure it was from Brett, the helicopter pilot who had left her behind in Boston when he took a job near San Francisco. Disappointed by the unfamiliar signature of an aunt she had never met, Jan read the letter and discovered that her wealthy grandfather had died, naming her an heir in his will. Furthermore, Aunt Mildred wanted Jan to come to Hillyard Castle in the mountains of Northern California as a companion to Sandra Lancing, Mildred's daughter. Sandra was pregnant with her first child, and Hill-yard Castle was remote from any medical facilities. Having a registered nurse on the premises might assuage some of Sandra's anxieties, which included what Aunt Mildred described as a "fearful obsession" about the old house. Intrigued by the opportunity to meet her relatives and more than a little curious about Sandra's "obsession," Jan decided to accept the offer. In the back of her mind was the hope that she might see Brett again. When she arrived at the castle, a gloomy edifice with pointed towers, Jan took an instant liking to her cousin and to Sandra's doctor, dark-haired Colin Whitmore. However, the fog-enshrouded mansion was an eerie place, and Jan's uneasiness multiplied when Sandra confided to her that someone was bent on destroying her unborn child in order to invalidate the peculiar codicil attached to Grandfather Hillyard's will.
