She might be just the right book. Melita Kennedy, if you live in the USA, you win a book of your choice from our stacks. It was early afternoon but already the light was fading and darkness drawing in. A chill wind sneaked down alleyways and passages off the river. The houses were grimy, shiny and black-roofed with rain, mean and poor and ugly, and regularly interspersed with more, looming, sheds.

He knows he could save himself — though he never thinks of it that way — but the compulsion to learn more goads him onward. It is evil of which I speak, Monmouth, wickedness, things best left concealed, undisturbed.
