    Lucinda Morland is nineteen, beautiful, bright and - as her parents repeatedly tell themselves - sensible. So it is understandable that she should want to find her own place, and fortunate that Mr. Maisie Maturin should have decided to go to South Africa for the winter, leaving free her nice, warm, fully furnished flat in Kensington - at a remarkable low rent: "I just want someone sympathetic to keep it warm for me."But from the start the flat is disturbing. The decor is weird and overpoweringly exotic. There is rotting food in the kitchen and a sickly sweet smell pervades the place. And an oddly-assorted band of strangers starts to close in around Lucy - locals from the pub, who know the flat; who want to join her at all hours for coffee, for drinks, and for seances of which 'dear Maisie' was so fond. Worse still, along with the strangeness of Lucy's new home, goes a painful obsession with the beautiful Jesuit priest who she sees fleetingly on the pub, or across the street. As darkness and madness join hands to drag her into a world of evil and corruption, Lucy senses that it is to him she must turn - to his mysterious strength, for good or ill - though to do so is to expose herself to the pain of forbidden love and to fuel the sexual fantasies which haunt her waking or sleeping.

    Six young Americans are taken hostage and kept in a remote desert hideout by a band determined to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

    Her sister had gone there to marry a man she had never seen, a man whose reputation was mean and frightening. And when her letters stopped, Victoria was certain that something dreadful had happened -- that she'd never see her beloved sibling again. Alone, terrified, but determined to discover the truth, Victoria had no inkling of the danger lurking in her future...A destiny of her own was awaiting Victoria at Lord Julian Hawley's manor. The gray Cornish building loomed menacingly over the water. The screeching gulls, the choppy sea -- it seemed as though even nature was warning her to leave. But nothing prepared her for Julian's dark brooding eyes that watched every move she made, that seemed to bore into her soul. And when she heard his footsteps echoing in the hallways and saw his ghost-like silhouette on her bedroom wall, she knew that her sister's fate would soon be her own -- that she would never escape from THE SHRIEKING SHADOWS OF PENPORTH ISLAND
