Meer oor hierdie e-boek
A woman is witness to an act that could cause the man she loves to face trial for murder in this mystery thriller from an Edgar Award–winning author.
She was known on the island as Sister and she always tried to do the right thing. But when she comes upon Tom, the man she secretly loves, pulling a woman’s body from the water, a hammer in his hand, Sister doesn’t know what to think. She doesn’t believe Tom is capable of killing. She can’t believe it.
Before going to the police with what Sister saw, Tom proposes. If they marry, she won’t have to testify against him. How far will Sister go to protect the man she loves? And if Tom isn’t the murderer, the killer must still walk among the small island community—which means they could strike again . . .
Praise for Mignon Eberhart
“Eberhart is one of the great ladies of twentieth-century mystery fiction.” —John Jakes, author of the North and South Trilogy
“One of America’s favorite writers.” —Mary Higgins Clark

Meer oor die skrywer
Mignon G. Eberhart (1899–1996) wrote dozens of mystery novels over nearly sixty years. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, she began writing in high school, swapping English essays with her fellow students in exchange for math homework. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, and in the 1920s began writing fiction in her spare time, publishing her first novel, The Patient in Room 18, in 1929. With the follow-up, While the Patient Slept (1931), she won a $5,000 Scotland Yard Prize, and by the end of the 1930s she was one of the most popular female mystery writers on the planet.
Before Agatha Christie ever published a Miss Marple novel, Eberhart wrote romantic crime fiction with female leads. Eight of her books, including While the Patient Slept and Hasty Wedding (1938), were adapted for film. Elected a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 1971, Eberhart continued publishing roughly a book a year until the 1980s. Her final novel, Three Days for Emeralds, was published in 1988.
