From the Publisher
John Coffin on the run!
No act of violence ever truly dies away; the effects of it go on for ever. The old princess, relic of an Eastern European royal house, could see plenty of it in her crystal ball: John Coffin on the run, three separate women and three separate acts of violence. There was the ghostlike girl in the upper room, the girl from Wolverhampton and the princess herself, who studied the psychology of poisoning. John Coffin had left his wife and his job after he had been concussed while making an arrest. Moving from place to place within his own part of South London he finds himself in a nightmarish web of violence. Yet he can never be sure whether what he sees is really happening or whether it is something emanating from his own disturbed mind…
