Book description
In the short novel
The Anastasia Syndrome,
prominent historical writer Judith Chase is living in London and
preparing for her marriage to Sir Stephen Hallett, expected to become
England's next Prime Minister. Orphaned during World War II, Judith
wants to trace her origins. In this quest, she goes to a renowned
psychiatrist and becomes the victim of his experiments in regression.
When a woman in a dark green cape sets off bombs in London, Sir Stephen
and Judith are faced with an intangible, mysterious force threatening
their very existence.
Obsessive love is the subject of Terror
Stalks the Class Reunion; psychic contact with a dead twin
sister is the only defense against a murder in Double Vision; Lucky
Day, compared to O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi, begins
premonition of imminent danger; in The Lost Angel, mother
follows her intuition in a harrowing search for her missing child.
"The Anastasia Syndrome and other stories amply
demonstrate clark's skill at maintaining suspense by creating
nightmarish situations that lie just beneath the surface of ordinary life."
