The Gabriel Hounds

**CORONET BOOKS #043539 Amazon (Harriet Evans review): ''A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors.''**

**The Gabriel Hounds are the ghostly hounds that hunt through the sky with Death.** If anyone is going to die, you can hear them clamoring over the house at night. Here, the house in question is a crumbling Arabian Night's palace in the High Lebanon. **Onto the scene comes Christy - young, spoiled, rich - and her cousin Charles. But they discovered that if entrance to the palace is difficult, retreat from it is almost impossible.--Goodreads**

**It's all a grand adventure when English Christy Mansel unexpectedly runs into her cousin Charles in Damascus.** And being young, rich, impetuous, and used to doing whatever they please, they decide to barge in uninvited on their eccentric Great-Aunt Harriet—despite a long-standing family rule strictly forbidding unannounced visits. Because **when the Gabriel hounds run howling over the crumbling palace of Der Ibrahim in the Lebanon, someone will shortly die.**

**A strange new world awaits Charles and Christy beyond the gates of Dar Ibrahim—"Lady Harriet's" ancient, crumbling palace in High Lebanon—where a physician is always in residence and a handful of Arab servants attends to the odd old woman's every need.** But there is a very good—very sinister—reason why guests are not welcome at Dar Ibrahim. And the young cousins are about to discover that, **as difficult as it is to break into the dark, imposing edifice, it may prove even harder still to escape.--Goodreads**
