The Return of the Soul: Ronald is a cruel young man, forced to live with his grandmother to gain his inheritance. When she dies, he spitefully kills her white cat. Now, years later, a kinder, gentler man, he falls in love and marries. But gradually his young wife begins to fear him, showing all the characteristics of the murdered cat. 'William Foster': When Catherine marries Mark Sirrett she considers him the kindest, most considerate husband in the world. But beneath his benign intentions lurks the soul of an artist who wants to write about the world the way it really is. Mark becomes 'William Foster' and writes a dangerous book that becomes immensely popular. But popularity has its price...The Villa by the Sea-The Pierces--Arthur and Elaine-find themselves curiously attracted to a villa by the sea while travelling in Northern Africa. They rent it, and soon discover that the previous tenants, another couple, left separately. However, their emotional battle still haunts the villa. Cry of the Child: Maurice Dale is a haunted man. Years ago he had had a child out of wedlock, and after the mother’s death, he had taken over responsibility for the baby. But driven by his egotist desires to be the best in his medical profession, he had ignored the child’s cries one night, and it had died. Now he hears the child’s cry almost every day. Then he marries Lily, the Canon’s daughter, and everything changes. Enter the intriguing world of Robert Hichens. These stories plus four more tales of murder, duplicity and betrayal await you.
