(Valerie Coleman -- good at sports, bright, and a super wr...)
Valerie Coleman -- good at sports, bright, and a super writer -- a cinch to become editor of the school paper. Stephen Reid -- quiet son of famous parents --- a "good guy" in his own right. Judy Piper -- pert and pretty redhead, throwing herself into things without worrying about consequences. Tony Millard -- senior class president and captain of the basketball team -- any girl's idea of the perfect date. Until the low-cost housing project opened, they made a happy quartet. Suddenly, in a town beset with racial tensions and parents on opposite sides, it wasn't easy to be good friends. And when Willow Hill High School became a test case for the whole town, Val discovered that being class president or editor of the paper wasn't everything. Maybe being a "good guy" was the most important thing of all....

Spindrift by Phyllis A. Whitney. From the book jacket inside front cover: Inside the walls of a palatial Newport estate, a violent struggle was beginning. Christy Moreland had come back to Spindrift determined to uncover the truth behind the mansion's most tightly held secret: the reason for her father's death. It was a truth that, at times, Christy felt she was barely strong enough to face, for it meant openly confronting Spindrift's domineering mistress-her mother-in-law, Theodora Moreland. Yet it was a battle that Christy knew she could not escape, especially if she was to free her young son from the obsessive and destructive hold the Morelands had come to exert over him. As Christy searches out the mysteries that haunt Spindrift-and the people in it-she slowly unveils a tightly woven web of deceit that only murder can continue to conceal.... A spellbinding novel of romantic suspense from the best-selling author of "The Turquoise Mask".

Right now Gale Tyler is twelve, but if she lives to a hundred, she surely won't forget this amazing summer on the island of Rhodes. She's here with her mother and her brother, Warren, who is as thrilled as a future archaeologist can be on his first visit to Greece. Thrills not exactly archaeological greet the young people the very first morning of their stay at the hotel operated by their aunt and her Greek husband. Up on the fourth floor, where Gale and Warren are the only guests, a whirling, leaping, black-shrouded figure streaks by and disappears into a room farther down the hall. Thuds and a jumping sound soon come from behind the door. But when it is opened by an angry little woman who rushes up from the third floor, the room is empty. Presumably empty, that is. Someone at an upper window of a big white house surrounded by trees is definitely sending mirror signals to the room. Also, in a closet, Gale discovers a strange packet folded in a leotard, obviously hidden there. Like a Pandora's box, the packet when opened releases a whole complex of events involving the American visitors deeper and deeper in mystery. Their cousins, Nicos and Tassoula, and dignified old Thanos Castelis, proprietor of the famous Pegasus pottery works, are all caught in the tangles of a dark family secret. Unraveling begins at the white house, leads to the ruins of Camiros, and reaches an exciting end on the rock of Lindos, high above the Aegean.

Yet to sit down and wait in patient surrender was beyond me at the moment. If I moved, if I took some action, perhaps I could hold off a terror that waited for me, just beyond the edge of reason. As a child, I knew I'd been horribly afraid of this mine - perhaps only because it was a black pit in the mountain that my father must have shown me. Later it had become the place in which I feared that he had died. But these were thoughts that I must not let in." (Back cover text)
