Synopsis: Three women are caught in the grip of the past in this Southern gothic mystery from the beloved twentieth-century American author. There&’s nothing to stop Pock Myles, single and unattached, from traveling to Louisiana to comfort her recently widowed and pregnant sister, Rye. But this is no ordinary visit. Recently, there have been bizarre happenings at Larchwood, the vast estate where Rye&’s staying with their aunt. When Pock arrives, Rye takes her to the nearby cemetery where her husband is buried—and his grave desecrated. An odd doll and cruel messages had previously been left there, and now, scorched into the surrounding grass are the words Not Here. Pock is caught off guard by her aunt&’s dismissal of such things as a prank—and by her most unwelcoming attitude. One thing&’s certain: something wrong and unexplained stalks the halls of Larchwood. A strange evil seems directed at Rye, and it&’s up to Pock to uncover it . . .
