Elizabeth Walter was a novelist, short story writer, translator and for thirty years from 1961 editor of The Collins Crime Club. She was a very private person, but the book's editor, Dave Brzeski has researched snippets of bibliographic information from her days with Wlliam Collins. In addition he discusses her writing and reviews the adaptations of her stories on television, in his informative introduction.Positively brilliant. They should rank as classics among occult stories. The character building and atmosphere are superb”Dennis Wheatley on ‘The Sin Eater’
