Das Schweigen der Toten
Kitty Weekes muss dringend untertauchen, und Portis House ist dafür der perfekte Ort. Sie fälscht ihren Lebenslauf und schafft es als Krankenschwester eingestellt zu werden ... Das abgelegene Herrenhaus wurde in eine Einrichtung für 'kriegsneurotische' Soldaten umgewandelt, die durch die Schrecken des Ersten Weltkriegs traumatisiert sind. Doch die junge Frau wird bald feststellen, dass sie nicht nur mit den Männern, die sie pflegen soll, alle Hände voll zu tun hat, sondern auch mit dem Haus selbst. Mächtige gespenstige Kräfte bewegen sich durch die Räume und suchen die Patienten mit Albträumen heim, die so grauenvoll sind, dass keiner wagt, darüber zu sprechen. Publishers Weekly: 'St. James verwebt geschickt das Paranormale mit dem, was man heute posttraumatische Belastungsstörung nennt, und schafft so eine angenehm gruselige Geschichte über die eindringliche Macht des Unsichtbaren.' Library Journal: 'Geisterhafte Erscheinungen, Schrecken und Rätsel ... Liebhaber klassischer Gothic-Romane in der Tradition von Victoria Holt werden sich diese atmosphärische Geschichte mit romantischer Spannung nicht entgehen lassen wollen.'
