Description: "It was 1936. The clouds of war gathered over Europe. But in
the small English village, new governess Sarah Causeley was enchanted with the
Hallams of Hallam House: the cucumber sandwiches at teatime, the charming
conversation, the passionate concern with peace and principle. That's why the
nasty pranks came as such a shock. Someone in the village was waging a hate
campaign, making the Hallams victims of cruel taunts that could lead to
terror. But until the dirty tricks turned deadly, no one guessed what real
malice grew in the countryside. Or the identity of the killer who left on the
gracious Hallam lawn both a skeleton...and a corpse."
