Synopsis

MAD WITH MUCH HEART

A child has been killed and the village scours the snowy countryside for the murderer. Bond takes it personal when the fiend makes an attempt on his own daughter’s life, and swears to kill him. It’s up to James Wilson, the big city cop, to try to instill some order and sanity to the hunt. But then the killer is spotted, and the chase is on.

Wilson and Bond grab a car and take off after him—Bond half-crazed with vengeance, Wilson just trying to catch up to the man in the snow. Then their car plows into a snowbank, and it becomes a foot chase. That’s when they come to the farmhouse. Inside is a young woman named Mary. It takes them both awhile to realize that she’s blind. But more than that, Mary is holding a secret, one that will change all their lives.

About this title

About the Author

Gerald Alfred Butler was born July 31, 1907 in England. He worked as a chemist before becoming a novelist, later working as the director of an ad firm. His first novel, Kiss the Blood Off My Hands, was published when he was thirty-three, and became a best-seller in the UK, selling over 750,000 copies. After Butler had published four novels, Eagle-Lion Films bought the rights to Kiss the Blood, hoping to star Robert Donat. When the rights lapsed, Burt Lancaster bought them for his own company. At this time, Butler began to work as a scriptwriter for Mario Zampi. His last film adaptation was released in 1951, the same year as his sixth novel, Blow Hot, Blow Cold. Butler wrote one more novel 20 years later, and died in East Sussex on February 1, 1988, at age 80.
