Reviews
Ever meet a stranger who’s just sure you’re someone you’re not? Or is convinced you possess knowledge you really don’t? Alfred Hitchcock saw the sinister possibilities in such contretemps, and so does author Rector. Fired reporter and dumped husband Nick White is nose down in his whiskey when a knockout blonde walks into the bar and tells him, “You’re early.” Before he can ask whom she might be, she hands him an envelope and vanishes. There’s a pile of money inside, plus a photo of a young girl with a name and address on the back. Has the blonde mistaken him for a professional assassin? Is he going to keep the money and blow town? Or play hero and warn the victim? Rector works some startling changes on this delicious theme, making the predictable the unpredictable in a deceptively prosey, unadorned style. Recommend this to readers who admire the work of Cornell Woolrich, where a macho PI or great detective rarely turned up to untangle the mess—and even if he did, it didn’t make much difference.
