The Beauty Queen Killer — John Creasey

Only a jealous lover? Betty Gelibrand was young, exceptionally beautiful, and the proud winner of a contest that guaranteed her a part in a movie. It was a small part, to be sure, but every great actress had to start somewhere small...or so she told herself. Betty didn't know that she would never have a chance to prove that her talents ran deeper than her beauty...for in winning the contest, she had marked herself for death! And Roger West found himself battling a maniac who seemed determined to kill all the beauty contest winners in London! John Creasy is the author of more than five hundred mystery novels which have been published in thousands of editions around the world. Among his favorite characters now available in Lancer editions are the Toff, the Baron and Dr. Palfrey.
