The Dancing Floor

The Dancing Floor

From the New York Times-bestselling author, a novel of a daring woman, a seductive English garden, and rumors of witchcraft . . .

For years, Heather Tradescant had dreamed of the journey she and her father would take to England—a pilgrimage to the great gardens of history. Now that her father is dead, Heather is determined to fulfill his dreams. Unfortunately, her request to see the fabled seventeenth-century garden of Troytan House is denied by the wealthy new owner.

Though unwelcome, she braves the walls of briars and reaches the Victorian manor house beyond. She senses a strange frisson of evil lurking, tainting the manor’s peaceful beauty. Only then does Heather begin to wonder if it is simply stories of long-vanished witchcraft that haunt Troytan House or if there is some more modern horror, nearer at hand, and far, far more dangerous . . .

In The Dancing Floor, the author of such acclaimed novels of suspense as Vanish with the Rose and House of Stone provides a chilling tale to keep you reading until the last page.
