Boston:: Houghton Mifflin, 1984.. Book Club Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: gray binding; a damp ripple affects the lower corner of the text block, otherwise in good condition; with a Good dust jacket.. 8vo (8.5 inches tall) . Description: Dust jacket art by Laura Blacklow. This followed the author's debut mystery novel, Sweet and Deadly. The publisher's blurb reads: ''The safe, easy-paced college town of Knolls, Tennessee, seems like paradise to Nickie Callahan, retreating from noisy and crime-ridden New York City. After a brief and glamorous career as a successful model, Nickie looks forward to finishing college at Knolls and to reviving old friendships. But the safety is illusory and the crime that comes nearer and nearer to Nickie's own life is rape. The courageous and startling way in which Nickie and her friends confront the stalking terror makes the book heartening to read.'' Rear gutter code 'O 17''' indicates a printing date of April, 1984.
Synopsis
Former New York City model Nickie Callahan is looking forward to the easy life when she moves to the sleepy college town of Knolls, Tennessee. But the women of Knolls are not safe. And as Nickie gets swept up in a string of brutally violent crimes, she must take matters of justice into her own hands.
