Carol Sanders and her mother come to the island to work for Mr. Ross. Carol soon decides that there is something very strange about Mr. Ross. Where did he get his money from? How can a young man buy an island? So she watches, and she listens -- and one night she learns what is behind the locked door."--Back cover.
