Lacey, Elise, and Giles. They grew up together on a mist-shrouded island off the Georgia coast. Long ago, and without Giles' ever knowing it, Lacey gave birth to his son. But Elise, the beautiful, domineering one, got Giles. She got Lacey's child, too, to bring up as her own. Lacey has tried hard to forget. But in ten years she hasn't been able to. So she's going back. To see her son. To confront Elise. To exorcise the spell of the island - and of Giles. Or perhaps to be trapped by them forever....

Phyllis Ayame Whitney (1903 – 2008) was an American mystery writer. Rare for her genre, she wrote mysteries for both the juvenile and the adult markets, many of which feature exotic locations. A review in The New York Times once dubbed her "The Queen of the American Gothics". She was born in Japan to American parents and spent her early years in Asia. Whitney wrote more than seventy novels. In 1961, her book The Mystery of the Haunted Pool won an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Juvenile novel, and she duplicated the honor in 1964, for The Mystery of the Hidden Hand. In 1988, the MWA gave her a Grand Master Award for lifetime achievement. Whitney died of pneumonia on February 8, 2008, aged 104.
