Never Look Back — Mignon G. Eberhart

GIRL IN DANGER

When lovely Maggie Brooke returns from abroad to the penthouse apartment following a serious break with the man in her life, she yearns for a brief interlude of peace.

Instead, she's confronted with a mounting atmosphere of terror -- a burning cigarette in an empty apartment -- the odor of cyanide in her bedroom…a faceless figure luring her toward a balcony.

And as the half-recognized footsteps come closer and closer, a telltale chill touches Maggie Brooke -- the chill of death.
