Hardcover with dust jacket, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, some light cover edge wear() At age fifty, with two grown children, Margaret Spencer lives the placid and vaguely dissatisfied life of a corporate attorney's wife until one more vapid birthday card from her inattentive husband sparks a search for new meaning in her existence. She answers a newspaper ad calling for part-time office help, and finds herself hired on the spot by Nat Southby, former cop and now private eye. An innocuous request to locate a missing cat brings Margaret (who Southby immediately calls Maggie, much to her prim dismay) and her boss smack into the middle of a vicious murder and a series of unnerving disappearances of Vancouver teenage girls. Beneath the placid exterior of this provincial city, a soon-to-be metropolis, lurks a great deal of evil. In this taut story that starts languidly and slowly gains momentum, finishing with a wild kidnapping and chase on British Columbia's Gulf Islands, first-t ID: mon0000041603 .
