AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Everyone at some time or other has experienced the long arm of coincidence. This story treats of such. In mountainous Wales, Evelyn Harris is driving through torrential rain when she is hailed by a would-be hitch-hiker. The hitch-hiker is, in actual fact, an escapee from prison. Evelyn innocently picks up the escapee, who turns out to be a weird enigmatic little Welshman. He, like more other escaped convicts, is intent on revenge. He intends to murder the man who was responsible for his imprisonment. That man is Evelyn's husband. Playing up to him, Evelyn spins a web of intrigue, leading to a horrifying and unexpected climax.'
