About this book

She reached the roof and emerged at the opening of the parapet wall. Flat black and dirty. Chimneys incinerators ventilators. The house itself dark and dingy and passive. Nothing moved. . . . No sound except away below the murmur of a passing automobile. . . . Quite suddenly she realized that if she had removed the threat of the police she had also removed their protection. In a few moments she will face sheer dizzying horror.
