Two novellas. *Wanted: Someone Innocent* Newly engaged as companion to a wealthy celebrity, Gillian Brayton is mysteriously disliked by the servants and treated coolly by the pale, drawn invalid who is her employer's husband. She is soon cast in a deadly role in a dark and sinister sequence of events. *Last Act* Denis Cotton held the promise of something unknown and fearful, yet so beautiful it broke your heart. His presence in his grandmother's household was always greeted with apprehension - and more than ever when it appeared he was intent on murder.
