Good story - though it drags in some areas, the suspense builds and builds until the conclusion. This has been a favorite of mine since I stumbled upon it in the high school library.

Back cover:

To Juana Brett the summons from her grandmother in Portugal appeared to be only an invitation to revisit the beloved scenes of her childhood. She did not know that the familiar castle on the lonely cliffs of Cabo Roca had become the secret meeting place of spies and terrorists. Nor that she herself was to be caught up in a fantastic web of intrigue that had wound itself around her family.

From the moment Juana learned about the winding stair that led to the hidden rooms beneath the castle, she became part of the nightmare conspiracy that threatened everyone she loved.

But it was Juana herself who became the unexpected target of the madmen who dared not trust her with the secret of THE WINDING STAIR.

I am a fan of Jane Aiken Hodge's other books, and did not find this one to be as well written as some of her other work.
