Publisher's Note
From the moment Roger and his family arrive at the French chateau for a holiday, everything seems strange. The place is unkempt, the owner is ill-tempered, and his daughter seems deeply troubled. Roger feels he must help her, and that means getting to the bottom of the dark mystery of the chateau. Previously out of print.
What is the sinister mystery of Chateau Bois Serpe? Roger, his parents, and twin sisters arrive at this crumbling ruin in the wilds of France, anticipating a holiday that's "different." And so it proves, but not as they'd hoped. The owner, the strange daughter Mesuline, whom Roger first meets tending her father's goats. She is like no girl he has ever seen, with her brusqueness and her expressionless black eyes, and as he gradually befriends her, he begins to realize that there is something very wrong about her, about the chateau, and about her life within it. Roger senses a cry for help. How can he know that by trying to answer it, he will involve himself and his family in a shocking drama that reaches its climax in a grisly discovery--and sudden death?
