# "El cementerio viviente" by Burton Hare
This Spanish-language terror selection contains a multi-chapter mystery thriller. The narrative opens with a protagonist exploring a medieval cemetery, sensing he is being watched by malevolent, hidden eyes. The primary plot follows Duncan Rogers, a cold-eyed gentleman who rents the sinister Kendal Manor (locally called "Devil House") near the coastal town of Stonehaven. Inspector Anthony Vernon of Scotland Yard becomes convinced Rogers is a serial murderer who married and murdered two previous wives for their inheritances, staging the deaths as accidents. Though unable to secure legal evidence, Vernon confronts Rogers before his impending third marriage to a wealthy, vulnerable heiress, threatening intense surveillance if another "accident" occurs. The narrative emphasizes Rogers's calculated charm, his loyal but unsettled wolfdog Sultan, and Vernon's determination to prevent a third murder.
