Publisher's Synopsis
Refreshingly different, this unusual tale of murder and intrigue takes place at a private school built on a desolate mountain ridge of the California sea coast. With the sudden disappearance of Alrik Lind, attractive young headmaster, Drake's Anchorage is thrown into a state of turmoil.
What was the mystery behind the murder of Miss Breckenridge, Lind's eccentric secretary? Why was the school's reputation in dire jeopardy? Who was the ex-GI that was found lurking on the school grounds? What was at the base of the vicious whispering campaign against Lind? And why was the beautiful and wealthy widow, Mrs. Maxwell, II, so anxious to find out the real truth?
