AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'WHEN the car crashed over the mountain side a new life opened for Ray Owen, and a new love—for he married the widow of the man who was in that car, took his money and set himself up in business. The business flourished and eventually Owen forgot the crash and the man who had died. He felt secure and peaceful and even happy until that Wednesday afternoon when Clifford Harding walked into his office—back from the dead. Or was it Clifford Harding? Perhaps it was his brother Jack. Fear drove Ray crazy.'
