Run, Ellen, Run — Elaine F. Wells

What could lovely young Ellen Henry, adult education teacher and newspaper advice columnist, possibly have done to make someone want to kill her? He had already tried once when Ellen met Mark McKay, a psychology student working toward his doctorate and teaching part time. If Mark had not been in the right place at the right time, Ellen's mysterious assailant might never have had to try again.

Trust no one, Mark told Ellen. But Ellen was certain she could identify her pursuer--until the police found his body in her car, and the threat to her life became even greater.

Danger loomed everywhere, especially in Ellen's secluded cottage in Jamul. But it had to be faced--and faced alone. The police would not shadow Ellen lest they frighten away her pursuer; Mark was out cold with a bug; and Robert Trusk and Sigmund Darclaine, though both eminent psychiatrists--and Ellen's suitors--were no more to be trusted than anyone else. So without help, Ellen had to carry on--especially with her efforts to save the young girl who had fervently written to her for help--and this despite the evident connection between the girl and Ellen's pursuer.
