THUNDER HEIGHTS

by Phyllis A. Whitney ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Camilla King, orphaned, is persuaded to visit her dying grandfather, the tyrannical builder and founder of Thunder Heights up on the Hudson River. There she finds two aunts, an adopted cousin and old Orrin Judd's right hand engineer, Ross Granger, doubtful of her presence and, when Judd dies, more doubtful of her inheritance -- the shabby mansion, the money and her absolute power. More than this is the mystery of her mother's death, the secretive hiding of old family happenings so that when odd accidents begin to plague Camilla she has four choices for active enemies. Reestablishing the house and establishing herself she pieces together unrelated information and discoveries until a melodramatic ending wipes out the past and provides a new future -- with Ross -- for her. As innocent as its turn of the century period.
