EDEN, DOROTHY — Whistle for the Crows

New York, Ace. 1962. (ISBN: 044188556X) Pbk. Book, The job of tracing the ancestral tree of the mystery-shrouded O'Riordan family at first fascinates beautiful, young Cathleen Lamb. But the past, she soon discovers, is entangled with the present in a delicate but deadly web of violence and suspicion. Isolated in a gloomy castle on the edge of a moor, Cathleen finds that the secrets she uncovers have drawn her into a swirling vortex of smoldering hates and strange relationships that threaten her very existence. Yet despite the malice surrounding her, she is helplessly drawn to the brooding, darkly passionate man who is plotting to control the family-- a man who will stop at nothing if Cathleen, or anyone, stands in his way. Very Good.
