Grace Manor, Southern Goth, Vintage 1982 A dark, romantic tale of impregnable walls and unassailable towers ... The body of a young woman is discovered, propped against a tree in a forested glen on the Grace Manor estate. Mysti Mae Jones, recently hired head of housekeeping, knew the woman in a former life. Sarah Beauchamp, two-months-away-from-fourteen junior sleuth, uncovers a clue. Fresh aspersions are cast upon The Gentlemen’s Club, the former City Fathers of Clayton, Alabama, with whom the woman was last seen. Investigations threaten the Club’s plans for acquiring Grace Manor and twenty-five hundred acres of prime real estate Mayhem and murder are invoked to execute a precisely choreographed, diabolical masquerade of confusion, death, and despair. The prize? Grace Manor, come hell … or well … Hell. And when Hell shows, two stand in THEIR way–two lambs to the slaughter. One will be taken–one offered up. Will her walls hold impregnable–will her towers prove unassailable
