Book description
Dick opened the door again swiftly, Vera clinging to him--and they were
so astounded at what they saw that he forgot for the moment to slam the
door shut again. For the phantom was there--clearly visible in the
sunlight, which now blazed across the upper half of the great window. A
strange, incredible caricature of a being hung in the dusty air, a haze
of blurry light surrounding it from the back. There was the pointed
tail, the simian ears, the long needle-chinned face, bent arms flexed as
though to pounce forward. He seemed to be grinning horribly. Yet he was
in mid-air and through him the ancient stone wall could be distinctly
seen. This was the ghost--the horror--that everyone knows haunts Sunny
Acres Castle, the house that Vera Grantham has just inherited from her
late uncle. Together with her boyfriend, Dick Wilmott, she must uncover
the secret behind the mansion--a secret worth killing for! A great
mystery in the classic British tradition.
