X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>After receiving a frantic letter from her 
 newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom\, 
 Noem&iacute\; Taboada heads to High Place\, a distant house in the Mexican
  countryside. She&rsquo\;s not sure what she will find&mdash\;her cousin&r
 squo\;s husband\, a handsome Englishman\, is a stranger\, and Noem&iacute\
 ; knows little about the region. Noem&iacute\; is also an unlikely rescuer
 : She&rsquo\;s a glamorous debutante\, and her chic gowns and perfect red 
 lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But 
 she&rsquo\;s also tough and smart\, with an indomitable will\, and she is 
 not afraid: Not of her cousin&rsquo\;s new husband\, who is both menacing 
 and alluring\; not of his father\, the ancient patriarch who seems to be f
 ascinated by Noem&iacute\;\; and not even of the house itself\, which begi
 ns to invade Noem&iacute\;&rsquo\;s dreams with visions of blood and doom.
 </p>\n<p>Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family&rsquo\;s y
 oungest son. Shy and gentle\, he seems to want to help Noem&iacute\;\, but
  might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family&rsquo\;s past. For ther
 e are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family&rsquo\;s onc
 e colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes\, but
  as Noem&iacute\; digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness
 . And Noem&iacute\;\, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of 
 High Place\, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic hous
 e behind.</p>\n<p>Click&nbsp\;here&nbsp\;to place a hold on a copy:&nbsp\;
