The Frightened Ones Melba Marlett

In two novellettes and three short stories Melba Marlett's wry and penetrating comments on the ever-shifting relationships between individiuals have an impact far beyond the sheer delight of her plots. Written with versatility, these incisive portraits probe various aspects of midcentury American life.

Melba Marlett, the author of several first-class mysteries and the major novel TOMORROW WILL BE MONDAY, writes with insight and a distinctive style all her own.
