kerriganm avatar reviewed Suspenseful, psychologically-driven thriller/mystery on + 20 more book reviews


Harry, a struggling new doctor aches for the good life. An old school chum appears and seems to be willing to help him out by introducing him to an ailing millionaire. He is drawn toward the millionaire's beautiful wife, and she seems to welcome his advances. Does the millionaire know? And what shady business does the millionaire want Harry involved in? Can he afford to say no?

A tense, suspenseful drama by the renowned Ellery Queen. Like many of Queen's books, character-driven with an emphasis on psychology.
