“An inventively plotted, goose-bumps inducing ghost story. ” —Booklist

A house with a sinister past—and a grisly power …

When Michael Flint is asked by American friends to look over an old Shropshire house they have unexpectedly inherited, he is reluctant to leave the quiet of his Oxford study. But when he sees Charect House, its uncanny echoes from the past fascinate him—even though it has such a sinister reputation that no one has lived there for almost a century. But it’s not until Michael meets the young widow, Nell West, that the menace within the house wakes …

“Rayne spins eerie yarns within yarns like a latter-day Isak Dinesen or Wilkie Collins. ” —Kirkus Reviews

“A chilling mystery from another era… . Once again Rayne delivers. ” —Booklist

Severn House

The Nell West and Michael Flint Series

Property of a Lady

The sins of the past break through to the present in this chilling tale of supernatural suspense.

When Benedict Doyle finds himself the owner of his great-grandfather’s North London house, it stirs memories of his time there as a frightened eight-year-old and the strange glimpses that revealed the darkness in his family’s past—through which runs the grisly thread of an old legend about a chess set believed to possess a dark power. And when Michael Flint, meeting Benedict in Oxford, starts to research his story, chilling facts begin to emerge—facts that suggest the old legend contains a disturbing reality. Could the chess set’s malevolence be reaching out to the present?
