Dark Interval

Heat level

Behind closed doors

NIGHTMARE OF MADNESS When Caroline awakened, she didn't know where she was. Then a name pricked at her memory. Beaumont- a word from her childhood at the manor. Beaumont- where the hopelessly mad were committed. Beaumont- great, gloomy house of the living dead. And now she was there, watched over by a hard-eyed nurse, visited by a doctor whose smile could not hide the icy indifference of his gaze. Why was she there? How could she escape? And above all, where was the man who had claimed her body and destroyed her mind- and whom she so desperately loved?
