'Quentin is a craftsman of the first class' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

Peter Duluth turned to drink after his wife's untimely death; now, two years later and desperate to dry out, he enters a sanitorium, hoping to turn his life around. But he doesn't quite get the calm relaxation he expected. Strange, malevolent occurrences plague the hospital - and Peter hears his own voice crying out the warning 'There will be murder.'

With a murderer is on the loose, and the staff every bit as erratic as the idiosyncratic patients, everyone is a suspect - including Peter, who is desperate to clear his name before the killer strikes again.

About the author

Patrick Quentin is one of the pseudonyms of Hugh Callingham Wheeler (1912-1987). Wheeler was born in London but moved to the United States in 1934 and became a U.S. citizen. After producing more than 30 mystery novels, Wheeler gravitated to the stage and wrote the book for A Little Night Music, Candide, and Sweeney Todd, all of which earned him Tony awards. Two Peter Duluth novels inspired films: Homicide for Three (1948) and Black Widow (1954), which starred Van Heflin, Gene Tierney, Ginger Rogers and George Raft.
