While out skiing at night, Penny, Louise, and Jerry hear strange sounds coming from a nearby monastery. They discover that a religious cult is living at the monastery. Penny tries to learn more about the cult, but the leader is very secretive. When Penny learns of a missing woman who is interested in cults, she becomes convinced that there is a connection. Penny masquerades as one of the cult members and learns the shocking secret of the strange cult. Penny Parker starred in a series of 17 books written by Mildred A.
