SWIFT TIDES OF DREAD

Janet Ogilvy began to fear the strange rumors circulated about the caves that mysteriously appeared after a tidal wave it the town of Lochy, and relics of other ages were uncovered. They were only rumors, but her heart told her that Alan, the attractive man she secretly loved, might be in danger. Then one day a daring young man scaled the cliffs, clambered into one of the openings and fell beck to his death minutes later. It was clearly evident that his battered body had been tampered with. Someone — or something — was living in the caves. Janet knew she must risk unlocking their treacherous secrets before she could ever again embrace the man she loved.
