The House on the Cliff overlooks
a lake. Years ago, an excursion boat sank in a storm and it's said
the lake is haunted. The house's occupants include a young, lovely
heiress, Ellen Clayton, currently confined to a wheelchair; her coolly
beautiful stepmother; and a strict housekeeper. Then Nurse Pepper
arrives, a cheerful, curious person eager to put things in order.
And there's the substitute doctor who believes Ellen can walk again
- and soon. It all begins with a sudden violent murder and ends with
a chilling, surprising climax.
