Sue for Mercy

(1974)
A novel by

 
 
When Sue Stephens comes across a car crash one January night, she finds it hard to believe it was a genuine accident.

She saw the car race past her, and the driver she caught a glimpse of was not the young, handsome man who she finds stinking of alcohol, bleeding heavily and spilling out of the driving seat.

So where is the real driver?

And why did he run off and leave this man unconscious?

When Sue takes the victim, Charles, to hospital he claims he can remember nothing since he left work three days earlier.

But is he lying to her?

She begins to fear he is involved in something illegal…

If so, is the handsome Charles a victim or villain of the piece?

And whose money — or life — is at stake? Should Sue retreat from the man who is beginning to steal her heart?

Or risk her life to find out the truth?
