Keeper of the Door, 1952

Hehe, quibbling again!  Neither Max nor Olga had black hair or blue eyes.  Nice atmosphere, though. 

The back cover blurb's nice too: 


Did Dr. Max Wyndham hold the keys of life and death in his hands? And did he open the door intentionally to let Violet Campion pass through to the Beyond? Could she marry Max Wyndham and remain faithful to the memory of her friend? These are the torturing thoughts which troubled Olga Ratcliffe.

The events of that terrible night when Violet Campion died so tragically proved too much for Olga, and after many weeks of illness caused through brain fever, she recovered to find that memories of the past were beyond her -beyond her till the whisperings of the hated Hunt-Goring revived the awful fear that the real facts of her friend's death were being hidden from her.

How she discovered the truth and her final emergence from the valley of the shadows to ultimate happiness make an absorbing story, told by an authoress who not only gives her readers enter­tainment but solves with unerring skill some of the deeper problems which beset mankind.
