An original and terrifying mystery by noir writer Fredric Brown
George Weaver was looking for peace and quiet, not murder, when he rented a house ten miles outside the town ofTaos, New Mexico.
However, murder soon comes to occupy George''s sleeping and wakingthoughts when he begins to dig out the details of a celebrated, unsolved case that happened years before in the very house he is living in. He finds himselffalling in love with the dead girl, Jenny Ames, idealizing her, wishing it wereshe he''d married instead of Vi, to whom he is so unwillingly and unhappily married.
The Far Cry is another top FredricBrown job-a most adroit, inventive, and utterly horrifying mystery.
