Book description
â I'll never rest until I've seen his murderer hanged!â
But Dick Blake didn't know what he was letting himself in for. Not
only did he have to contend with the strangely complicated network of
intrigue which surrounded the passionate, neurotic Malvery clan, but
more baffling still, somehow or somewhere, he had to discover the
secret of The Hushing PoolÂ-that turbulent, whirling body of
water from which no man or woman had ever returned alive.
Was Richard Malvery really dead, or had he for some sinister purpose
merely disappeared under mysteriously suspicious circumstances which
pointed an accusing finger at his brother, Boyce? Just what did the
ClentsÂ-that wild, exotic familyÂ-know about the secret of the Pool?
Against a bleak, desolate background, the master mystery writer of
them all weaves an unforgettable tale of passion, horror, and murder.
