The Faster She Runs
She went looking for excitement -- and found violence and danger instead! A Wildside Crime Classic by the author of The Star Trap and The Captain Must Die! "Bob Colby was more than just a 'one-hit wonder.' He wrote several other respected novels in the 1950s and '60s, including The Deadly Desire and The Secret of the Second Door (both Gold Medal, 1959) and dozens of short stories for Alfred Hitchcock and Mike Shayne...

[The Captain Must Die] is his masterpiece. You will not be disappointed." -- Ed Gorman
