What could be the connection between the ruthlessly professional `Trader Abductions' - a series of high-profile kidnappings of Establishment figures - a lonely, and rich, 73-year-old spinster and the blousy `Madame Blanche Tyler', self-styled clairvoyant, medium and psychic healer? The answer lies in the title of the famous thriller by one of Britain's most prolific and best-loved popular novelists, Victor Canning. On first publication, The Rainbird Pattern garnered rave reviews - `an unputdownable, multi-threaded thriller' (Guardian); `the sheer imaginative weight holds you like a giant electro-magnet' (The Times); `a most cunning Canning' (Daily Mirror) - and won the Crime Writers' Association's Silver Dagger. The story was transposed from England to California and filmed by Alfred Hitchcock (his last film) as Family Plot in 1976.
