With the studio’s boorish director taking a personal interest in her, Margot finds herself caught in the middle of two men: her boss and her increasingly jealous suitor, Gene Varley.\n\nOne night, alone in her midtown Manhattan apartment after a party, Margot is shocked to find a hand reaching out from under her bed. Though Gene and the police find no sign of an intruder, Margot refuses to believe in a supernatural cause. She puts her scientific mind to work delving into her apartment’s strange past—a recent tenants’ disappearance—and walking a fine line between the complicated passions of friends and rivals . . .\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 150409395X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.150409395X.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Roberts, W.
