The tall narrow house, known for more
than a hundred years as The Standish
Place, had been built on the bluffs of Brook-
lyn Heights, overlooking New York Har-
bor, by the noted family that had also
amassed a famous collection--the Standish
paintings--now mysteriously vanished. An
unoccupied wreck, avoided by neighbors
who forbade their children to set foot in it,
the ancient house was an empty shell of
stained walls, broken stairs, and odd areas
of bone-chilling cold.
It was after Antonia Monerieff decided
to move into the house, an unexpected in-
heritance, that frightening things began to
occur: the apartment where she and her
young son had been living was ransacked;
her son, Ewen, had an unexplained fall that
could have been fatal; her cat disappeared;
a fire threatened; her blind tenant and his
guide dog were followed and nearly mur-
dered.
Now thoroughly convinced that she was
the unexplained target of an unknown kill-
er, Antonia realized she must confront the
past she thought was buried, relive the pain
and disgrace and loss from which she had
fled so far so long ago. Because she came,
finally, to see that her past, her present, the
house, the lost paintings, and her love for
the man froth whom she had always run, were somehow all relalted.
