description: The critics have been saying it for the skill with which Frances Fyfield builds suspense, and the intelligence of her writing have led to a reputation as the best crime writer at work today. Blind Date is her break-out book - a multi-layered, richly characterized novel, written on a broad canvas alive with menace and tension.How do you make people love you? Emma Davey, who loved gem stones and life, found it easy. Everyone loved her, until someone put a bag over her head and beat her to death.        For others, the quest for love is harder. Elisabeth, Emma's sister and a disgraced ex-police officer, considers herself beyond love. Then she herself is the victim of a senseless attack and seeks refuge in her own eccentric home - a disused London belltower. But the safest places are not sacrosanct and Elisabeth must face a terror which is far greater than loneliness.
