Mycket gott skick.
At thirty, Helen Clarvoe is alone: her only visitors are the staff at the hotel where she lives, and her only phone calls come from a stranger. A stranger whose quiet, compelling voice lures the aloof and financially secure Miss Clarvoe into a world of extortion, pornography, vengeance, madness and murder. Beast in View is a brilliant, classic whodunit, and a deep, disturbing study of the dark places of the human psyche.

'Margaret Millar is surely one of the late twentieth-century crime fiction's best writers... the prose is of superb quality. But it is the use to which Mrs Millar puts her strongly imagined words that makes this book so exceptional' H.R.F. Keating
