Description
Is it pure chance or a malignant fate that sends George Sudley to the village of Lambing, when, newly released from jail, he seeks a place in which to start his new life? For he chooses it simply by sticking a pin in a railway guide.
Once there, however, and once he has met the lovely Polly Edge, George has sealed his doom and there can be no drawing back. A victim of love at first sight, George becomes all too deeply involved in a chain of grim and swift-moving events, culminating in murder.

Joan Fleming was one of the most original and literate crime writers of her generation. Born in Lancashire and educated at Lausanne University she became the wife of a Harley Street eye surgeon and mother of four, and was already a successful children's author before she turned to crime. She is the author of over thirty novels and won the CWA Gold Dagger in 1962 for When I Grow Rich and again in 1970 for Young Man, I Think You're Dying. The Deeds of Dr Deadcert was made into the 1958 film Rx for Murder.
