Born victim
Bobbie Markle had vanished without a trace. Despite their best efforts, the detectives could not find her body. Possible clues only led to dead ends, but the police chief has his suspicions on one key figure. As the gripping novel races towards the end, the reader is left flabbergasted when the truth finally comes out about Bobbie Markle.
He Never Came Back
From inside the cover: When Sara Dacre comes across a large red pendant at a twenty-cent jewelry stall she is tempted to buy it – especially when she bumps into her friend Gerry Hone, who persuades her that it will brighten up her old grey taffeta. But soon she finds herself in the center of some strange events. On leaving the shop she and Gerry witness the scene of an accident – but nobody can agree what happened. And then when Gerry takes her to an automat for coffee he goes to the counter to order – and never comes back. She left her cape in a guest-room and combed her hair by mellow lamplight that hardly reached the cloudy mirror in the carved frame. She saw a wan girl dressed in grey with the dull shine of old silver, a brilliant blob of crimson at her throat gathering up all the rays of muffled light and casting them back at the beholder like a flash of fire.
Sleep Long, My Love
From Goodreads: "Police Chief Fellows sets out to track down the killer who left his victim's mutilated corpse in an abandoned building, and begins a difficult and frustrating police investigation."
The young prey
She went to New York to fit in with an older crowd and without telling her family. When she tried her best to return home, a predator who only had eyes for her prevented that from happening. The next minute, she was dead. Hillary Waugh's poignant novel "The Young Prey" is a classic that remains relevant in these changing times.
