Summary, Etc. "Agnes Corey, an editorial assistant at a small independent publisher, has been hired by enigmatic author Veronica St. Clair to transcribe the sequel to her 1994 hit phenomenon, The Secret of Wyldcliffe Heights. St. Clair has been a recluse since the publication of the Jane Eyre-esque book, which coincided with a terrible fire that blinded and scarred her. Arriving in the Hudson Valley at St. Clair's crumbling estate, which was once a psychiatric hospital for "wayward women," Agnes is eager to ensure St. Clair's devoted fans will get the sequel they've been anticipating for the past thirty years. As St. Clair dictates, Agnes realizes there are clues in the story that reveal the true--and terrifying--events that three decades ago inspired the original novel. The line between fact and fiction becomes increasingly blurred, and Agnes discovers terrible secrets about an unresolved murder from long ago that have startling connections to her own life. As St. Clair's twisting tale infiltrates Agnes's psyche, Agnes begins to question her own sanity--and safety. To save herself, Agnes must uncover what really happened to St. Clair, and in doing so, set free the stories of all the women victimized by Wyldcliffe Heights"-- Provided by publisher.
Summary, Etc. "Jane Eyre meets The Thirteenth Tale in this new modern gothic mystery from two-time Mary Higgins Clark award-winner Carol Goodman, about a reclusive writer desperate to rewrite the past"-- Dust jacket flap.
