Twelve year old Katherine suddenly finds herself orphaned, and under the care of the man her mother recently married. Fortunately, she has inherited her mother's substantial estate; but with growing horror, she suspects that her new stepfather is trying to kill her. The suspense is agonizing, as her suspicions are gradually confirmed -- and entirely alone, she must match wits against the man who murdered her own mother.
This book was the first novel of George W. Potter, writing under a pseudonym, and it's too bad it has fallen into obscurity. When it comes to suspense, it certainly ranks better than a lot of works that are better known. ( )
