Penguin 1st Edition, published 1961.
Marcella is a born victim. She brings out the worst in men. But someone has taken it too far and murdered the poor girl. Alex knew her from the previous summer, during a brief affair when his wife was away. So when her body is discovered in their beach house, he feels as guilty as if he had murdered her himself. But Walt, who had been carrying on with her too, is the one who doesn’t have an instant alibi. So he’s the one they arrest. But no one really thinks Walt would have strangled her. Everyone knew Marcella—anyone could have killed her. But who hated this stray cat enough to choke the life out of her? And why?
Condition grading: Good Minus. Some foxing to both covers. Sticker to rear cover. Wear to bottom of spine. Damage to top of spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
