A wet January night . . . a disturbed young professor diving along a slippery road . . . a child darting after a ball . . . a sudden scream . . . and the reader is hurled into a story of chilling suspense, which unfolds in the eerie, nightmare world inhabited by a man with a split personality. Last year, Murder Takes a Wife established James A. Howard as one of the brightest talents in the mystery field. Here is an exciting successor - a novel with the same headlong pace, the same psychological fascination that won his earlier book such wide acclaimed. Driving home that rainy Friday night, Stuart Wise was disturbed about his position at the university, his problems with his superior, the death of his beloved wife - when he heard the sickening thud against the side of his car. He had been more than ready for a breakdown and now it came. Instead of turning himself in to the police, he went home and got drunk. That was the beginning of a weekend of terror in which the young professor became two men, hovering between a fantasy world of criminal violence and a real world equally filled with danger. In Murder In Mind, James A. Howard has drawn upon his experience as a clinical psychologist to combine the psychological authenticity of The Three Faces of Eve with the suspense of a first-rate murder story. The result is a novel that offers mystery fans an entirely new and thrillingly different kind of entertainment.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Very Good
