Description

Lois Williams watched old Mrs. Montfort sign her will and had no foreboding of the terror that was to follow. At most, she felt a small chill, which she absent-mindedly attributed to the damp coolness of Mrs. Montfort's pre-Revolutionary house. Yet later she is startled by an odd similarity between the voice of a young woman at the village inn and the remembered voice of the old woman. Explaining the event to Bob Oliver, editor of the Glenville *Advertiser*, Lois tries to call it coincidence. So does Bob—until he learns of a fatal mugging in Greenwich Village and has a talk with sad-faced Detective Nathan Shapiro of the Manhattan Police Force. Then they are caught in a mystery of elusive identities, disjointed telephone calls—and an unnamed terror that pursues them down a narrow, winding road and into a blinding storm. They are, in fact, involved in big-M murder, playing a defensive game against a ruthless killer.
