His signature is in the lower left-hand corner.

A life of quiet routine, where the only hint of romance and excitement came from the pages of a book or a movie, made Caroline Ballard accept the mysterious summons to Shadowland. At first it was everything she had hoped for, being swept away in a Rolls-Royce without even a chance to change from her nurse’s uniform. But the dream began to sour when she met Shadowland, and its master. There was something demoniac about Baxter Marr that warned her away ... but something else equally strong made her accept his invitation to stay. Then she began to unravel the secrets of the old house—the horde of old movies in the cupola, the three coffins int he cellar—and the impossible identity of the dead woman in one of the coffins! What started as a dream soon turned to deadly nightmare, and Caroline knew that one of those coffins was meant for her!
