~ Winner of the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best Novel - 1956
What starts as a crank call from an old school mate sets the lonely, aloof, and financially comfortable thirty-something Miss Helen Clarvoe on a path as predictable only as madness. Lured from her rooms in a second-rate residential Hollywood hotel, she finds herself stranded in the more perilous terrain of extortion, pornography, vengeance, and ultimately murder . . .
Hailed by critics as one of the greatest psychological mysteries ever written, Beast In View remains as freshly sinister today as the day it was first published in 1955.
"A creepy bit of a thriller that will spin you right out of your world and into a mid-20th century time of silk stockings and pompadours, sexual secrecy, stalkers, and surprise endings." -- Long Island Herald
