Blurb: “ESCAPE THE NIGHT by Mignon G. Eberhart
Serena March was returning to her old home on the enchanted coast of California
—the land of folded hills and ancient cypresses — partly because she got a vacation from her New York job, partly because Leda Blagden had urged her to,
"because something is going to happen," and chiefly because Leda told her that Jeremy Daly was there, the Jem Daly with whom she had fallen in love as a girl of nineteen the day her sister Amanda was married. She was returning to the old crowd with whom she and her sister had grown up and whose families had been friends or rivals since the days of the great ranches and some of whose ancestors had come around the Horn in '49. Her own old home, the Casa Madrone, was closed now and Amanda lived at the Condit ranch across the valley.
Back to the old life of expansive leisure, parties at Pebble Beach, trips to the one and only San Francisco, back to Jem-and what? What she met on the day after her return was murder which struck suddenly, silently and again, involving the whole group of old friends in a web of suspicion and danger.
This is a subtle and sophisticated novel of character and suspense in which murder plays its overpowering motif.”
