by Evelyn Piper (Author)
The classic novel of suspense is "a headlong story of nerve-wracking tension, psychological validity and emotional drive" (Oakland Tribune).
Bunny Lake is missing after her first day at nursery school. Is she the victim of a diabolical plot--or is she a chimera in the twisted mind of Blanche Lake, a young working mother just arrived in New York who's left behind the shame of being the mistress of a married man? An eccentric and creepy supporting cast and a dose of dark humor complement a core of gripping psychological suspense.
