<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Joe Egan is forced to flee every time a mysterious blonde woman appears. Is she real, or a figment of his troubled mind? "Fascinating." -- <i>The Guardian.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Insanely evocative and extremely satisfying." -- <i>The Times</i> (UK) <p/>Joe Egan has spent his life on the run. When he was a child, he thought he saw the angel of death. Now every time someone close to him dies, a mysterious blonde woman appears and he's forced to retreat, abandoning jobs and relationships in a never-ending flight across a hallucinatory version of the United States. Is the woman real, a figment of his imagination, or a supernatural apparition -- perhaps even the devil incarnate?<br><i>The Guardian</i> praised Marc Behm as "a terrific novelist," adding that "<i>Afraid to Death</i> is a fascinating mirror image to <i>The Eye of the Beholder.</i>" Behn's previous novel, also available from Dover Publications, spins a gripping tale of obsession and suspense in which a private investigator trails an enigmatic young woman. But this time the protagonist, a dissolute gambler, is being chased by a female character whose reoccurrences excite both fear and attraction.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>In addition to a pair of modern noir classic novels, <i>The Eye of the Beholder </i>and <i>Afraid to Death, </i>Marc Behm (1925-2007) wrote several screenplays, including <i>Charade, </i>starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, and the Beatles' second movie, <i>Help!</i> His acclaimed mystery <i>The Eye of the Beholder </i>has twice been adapted for the screen.
