From the back cover: "Anne Barrow was hauling her tightly trousered form over Channel View's high window-sill when Jim Marsden first saw her. At seventeen, he reacted predictably. But when he slithered in after the pretty little housebreaker, his run-of-the-mill boy-meets-girl intentions ran into trouble. For green-eyed Anne no sooner filled Jim with a mixture of sympathy and suspicion than she vanished, leaving him to cope with angry parents, ice-skating beatniks, and an unsolved murder. The hunt was on; but which was Jim, the hunter or the hunted?"This witty thriller marks one of the most blissful débuts in the Penguin crime list for a long time."Originally priced 3'6.
