Synopsis: Publisher: Was the menace trying to kill Nicole Fanchon human or ghost? Cara Palmer was a disturbed child. That was why Nicole Fanchon had come to Emerald Hill to care for her. On Nicole's first night in the house, Cara had crept close to her bed, holding a pair of scissors like a dagger. She hadn't struck ... not then. But Nicole knew she was in danger. Could her real enemy be Cara, who claimed her dead mother visited her, spoke to her, warned her against Nicole? Was it the hostile housekeeper, who also claimed to see the dead woman? Or Cara's father, to whom Nicole was so quickly drawn? Or was the killer the ghost of the former mistress of Emerald Hill?
