WHITE OWL COVE was a peaceful enough spot until grim-looking visitors installed themselves in the house on the cliff. Death followed close on their heels and struck four times. The first was murder, brutal and obvious, but the others might have been accidental —a tragic freak of fate. Kate Marsh thought otherwise. She had probed too many killings to be misled either by appearance or fantastic ideas. She determined to discover the truth —to match her wits against those of cunning and ruthless adversaries—and risk the murderer's knife. Gret Lane's novels have been praised by The Sunday Times, Observer, Daily Telegraph, Scotsman, Truth and many other prominent critics. This new mystery story, with its astonishing climax, will undoubtedly bring her fresh laurels. |
