Rikki Grant needed a vacation. That was one of the reasons she went to Key Flamingo to help an old family friend, Aunt Clara Dennison, prepare for a move to the mainland.

Rikki loved the small Florida island and enjoyed flirting with two of its handsomest bachelors, Chris Terry and Torry Dennison. But there was a darker side to her vacation, and she soon found herself enmeshed in a web of terror.

Someone in Aunt Clara's house resented Rikki's presence. Someone was watching and waiting in the shadows--in the dark corridor--prepared to get rid of the young visitor forever.
