Years pass and the mystery persists: an enduring torment for the teenage Christine Gray, the last person to see Vivian alive. Perhaps if she'd shown the girl a little kindness, and seen her safely home, Vivian might still be with them? Yet when someone claiming to be a grown-up Vivian returns to the land of the living, the enigma only deepens, threatening to consume the wicked and innocent alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEqual parts \u003ci\u003eThe Turn of the Screw\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePicnic at Hanging Rock\u003c\/i\u003e, and gothic thriller, \u003ci\u003eTwice Lost\u003c\/i\u003e was admired by such authors as Elizabeth Bowen, Rebecca West, and John Cowper Powys--yet the strange, haunting novels of Phyllis Paul are themselves a mystery with no simple solution.
