It was either work here with the doctor or return to the madhouse where she and her twin brother, Connor, had been sentenced for life after being accused of murdering their stepfather. Her brother still remained locked away, but Cora had shown improvement. Taking full responsibility for her, Dr. Damp had brought her to cook, clean, and assist him his laboratory.<\/p>\n<p><em>How good of the doctor to take her in<\/em>, people had said. <em>It\u2019s hard to believe that a quiet <\/em><em>young woman was capable of such a horrid crime. But it was her brother\u2019s idea, of course. He <\/em><em>was the real madman.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thinking her insane, neighbors were leery of her. They didn\u2019t know the truth about her past, nor did they fully understand the doctor\u2019s obsession. They didn\u2019t want to, for fear that their relatively peaceful lives would be destroyed. She knew they wouldn\u2019t believe a word against the doctor, not that she had wanted to speak against<br \/>\nhim &#8212; until now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ben wants Laura to reconsider staying overnight at Demon\u2019s Grotto, and he has information about the club\u2019s history that should convince her.
