Book description
A telephone rang - and Steve Griffin recognized the distant,
terrified voice of his wife. ''He's trying to run me down with a car.
He's trying to smash the life out of me, Steve.'' But who her pursuer
was Maureen never lived to tell.
What would drive an unknown man to kill Maureen, to smash out her
life with an automobile which was the twin of Steve's own? Steve
Griffin could think of nothing that would explain this nightmare.
Then a special delivery letter came to his office. It had only a
single, typewritten line: ''You owe me the kid too, Griffin.'' And
now, desperately frightened for his young daughter, Steve knew he had
to seek out the murderer himself. He realized he was seeking no
ordinary hit-and-run driver, but a deadly menace who had sworn to kill again.
In this gripping first novel of suspense, Talmage Powell sharply
evokes the tension of Griffin's quest down to its last, savage seconds.
