Excerpt from The Secret Partner
It was a struggle - a struggle in the dark between himself and another whom, in his dream, King hated with a wild, violent hatred, accompanied by a hunger to kill. Whenever Klaggett King dreamed that particular dream, he rose up the next morning and went about his affairs with a warm glow of satisfaction around his heart, for he knew that the stars in their courses, or mysterious destiny, or the subliminal will, or angels, or devils, or the ouija board, or whatever one likes to call it, were fight ing on his side, and he was bound to win. And it was so. Success followed the wake of this dream as its blazing tail follows the wake of a comet through the night sky.
