When Nicola Ferris chose the remote island of Crete for her vacation, all she desired was to experience the ancient and brooding land on her own. But one day her impulse led her on a little-used path into the foreboding White Mountains. And there she found a man in hiding--for reasons he could not explain. Warned to stay away, Nicola was unable to obey. And before she realized what she had uncovered, she found herself thrust into the midst of an alarming plot in which she would become the prey. First published in 1962
