Synopsis
An intriguing tale of a sudden disappearance on a Caribbean island, and a mysterious death by pills, which could have been accidental—or murder. Two novels of suspense—originally published 1937 and 1951—from the author of The Blank Wall. Raymond Chandler called her "the top suspense writer of them all."

Review
"Back in the early Thirties, before anybody ever heard of "psychological novels of suspense," Elisabeth Sanxay Holding was writing them, and brilliantly. For subtlety, realistic conviction, incredible economy, she's in a class by herself." -Anthony Boucher "She is a master at constructing a tightly interwoven plot and at creating an atmosphere rife with terror." -Springfield Republican "Her gift for psychological insights marks her as an important precursor to later writers such as Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Rendell." -Maxim Jakubowski, The Guardian
About the Author
Born in Brooklyn on June 18, 1889, Elisabeth Sanxay knew she wanted to be a writer by the time she was six. At sixteen she completed her first story. She published the first of several contemporary novels in 1920 but turned to mysteries when the Depression changed the market. Self-taught as a writer, she developed her style by translating English into other languages, then translating other languages into English. Holding published 25 novels in her lifetime—18 of them mysteries—and a wide variety of short stories. She married British diplomat George E. Holding in 1913 and together with their two daughters they traveled widely in South America and the Caribbean before settling in Bermuda for a number of years. Holding died in the Bronx section of New York City on February 7, 1955.
