'A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather
read her than most other authors.' Harriet Evans Legend has it that
when the Gabriel Hounds run howling over the crumbling palace of
Dar Ibrahim, high in the Adonis Valley of Lebanon, death will
follow on their heels. When rich, spoilt Christie Mansel arrives at
the decaying palace to look after her eccentric Aunt Harriet, she
arrives to the sound of howling dogs. The palace is riddled with
hidden passages and the servants are unwilling to let anyone see
Harriet during the day. It seems the palace hides an extraordinary
secret . . . one that somebody is willing to kill to keep. The deep
blue oblong of sky above the open court was pricking already with
brilliant stars. No ugly diffusion of city light spoiled the deep
velvet of that sky; even hanging as it was above the glittering and
crowded richness of the Damascus oasis, it spoke of the desert and
the vast empty silence beyond the last palm tree.
