Thrillers

This is a case of the chance meeting of two people, known to each other, who have both assumed false identities. William Adams was sent to prison for rape. In order to avoid this being known following his release, when he embarks upon a series of scams, he hides behind a new persona. He then meets Desmond Baxter, whom he recognises as the judge who sentenced him. But Baxter is not his real name. Why is he also hiding his identity? Might Adams indulge in a little blackmail? However, unknown to him, the judge has recognised Adams. After weaving many twists and turns, with her usual skill Margaret Yorke presents the reader with a wholly unexpected outcome.
