Title: Seven Days from Midnight
Description: The curtain rose and the players, invisible to the audience, took their places. Their names were Suspicion, Intrigue, and Violence.

When beautiful, malevolent Maxine Culver died after a fatal fall backstage, the cold finger of suspicion touched Susan Howard, whose career she had wantonly stifled, and Dr. David Radcliffe, the husband she had long ago deserted.

Drawn together by their mutual predicament, Susan and David discovered they were falling in love.

But how much did the frightened girl really know about the man Maxine had rejected? Had smoldering bitterness created a murderer? If so, Susan’s life was endangered by her love. And if not, could she be sure that the shadow of the diabolical Maxine wouldn’t someday wedge itself between them?
