Description

Museum archivist Danielle Burgess is headed for a romantic weekend getaway with the new man in town when she suddenly finds herself a fugitive running from the law, accused of stealing valuable antiquities. She doesn?t question the ease with which she is provided an alternate identity, a secondhand car, and a new destination, but will she be safe hiding out on Phantom Island? A charismatic ghost on a black horse haunts the beaches at night, and a phantom ship of fire appears offshore at random.

As if that weren?t enough, Andrew Drack, blind and lame from an accident, convinces Dani he could be a modern-day Dracula in his eerily decrepit Victorian house on the cliff. His wolf-like seeing-eye dog adds to his haunting image, but his friendship with the local constable is the most frightening aspect of this mysterious real-life man who threatens to overwhelm all her inhibitions with his sensual charms.

About the author

Gail MacMillan has always wanted to be a writer. She was 30 years old when her first book, Forest of Fear, was published for Avalon in 1974. Since then she has gone on to write three novels for Avalon, a variety of articles and stories for magazines in Canada and the United States, and two books on her favorite dog, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. For a 1992 article on this breed, Gail was awarded a Maxwell Medal in New York by the Dog Writers' Association of America for the best article in a canine magazine or newspaper.

Gail's other interests include reading, horses, and canoeing. She currently lives in Bathurst, New Brunswick with her husband, Ron, and two dogs, a Sheltie mix and, of course, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
