She was beautiful and evil - she murdered minds as well as bodies...

'A work of art - terrifyingly believable' NEW YORK TIMES

'Superb ... BEAST IN VIEW is cunningly plotted and has an ingenious final twist' MAIL ON SUNDAY

'Millar was the master of the surprise ending (exemplified in BEAST IN VIEW)' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

At thirty, Helen Clarvoe is alone: her only visitors are the staff at the hotel where she lives, and her only phone calls come from a stranger.

Until that stranger, with a quiet, compelling voice, lures the aloof and financially secure Miss Clarvoe into a world of extortion, pornography, vengeance, madness and murder.

But who is the hunter and who is the victim...?

A gothic chiller which still feels incredibly modern, BEAST IN VIEW is a true classic of the crime fiction genre.

Margaret Millar (1915-1994) was born in Ontario, Canada and was educated at Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate Institute and the University of Toronto, majoring in Classics. In 1938 she married Kenneth Millar (who wrote under the name Ross Macdonald). She published her first novel, THE INVISIBLE WORM, in 1941 and she worked as a screenwriter for Warner Brothers. She was active in the conservation movement in California in the 1960s and was named a Woman of the Year by the LOS ANGELES TIMES in 1965, and in 1982 she became a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America.
