Publisher's Synopsis
'You'd better get used to corpses, Val,' - the wall hummed with the brutality of that assured voice - 'if we're going to turn your stepfather into one.' Laid out like a fish on a slab, Sarah listens as the walls whisper their deadly plans. The house is full of watchers; even the furniture has malevolent eyes. The nurse watches over Sarah, Rose watches out for Sarah, Gwenyth watches the house, the Phippses spy and plot ...The Wakefield Crime Classics series revives forgotten or neglected gems of crime and mystery fiction by Australian authors. Many of the writers have established international reputations but are little known in Australia. 'The Wakefield Crime Classics series is marvellous ...a wonderful collection of writing that should not have been overlooked in this country in the first place.' - Terry O'Connor, Courier Mail
