The Lair of the White Worm

"The sudden death of Lilla caused consternation among Mimi's friends and well-wishers. Such a tragedy was totally unexpected, as Adam and Sir Nathaniel had been expecting the White Worm's vengeance to fall upon themselves." On his arrival from Australia, Adam Salton discovers a gruesome mystery - something on the estate of Castra Regis is feeding on human flesh. Has it something to do with Lady Arabella March, the strange, seductive woman who tore a mongoose apart with her bare hands and murdered an African Servant? Something is out there, deep in that forest, and its hunger won't be suppressed until it kills them all.
