Foul Play Suspected by John Wyndham

Foul Play Suspected by John Wyndham

A rediscovered, outstandingly prescient crime novel written in the lead-up to World War II, by one of the twentieth century's most brilliant--and neglected--science fiction and horror writers, whom Stephen King called "the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced."

"Genuinely creepy . . . Wyndham really was a terrific storyteller."--Jo Walton

England, 1935: Phyllida Shiffer's marriage has just ended in divorce. She heads home, expecting to be welcomed with open arms by her father, a brilliant (if slightly distracted) scientist. But her father's house is locked up; he is nowhere to be found; and there are suspicious men who seem to think that Phyllida herself might hold the key to her father's latest scientific discovery. . . .

When Auriel Wyndham Livezey was in her mid-teens, her family moved abroad from her native Australia, she was exposed to numerous cultures and languages and got an worldwide viewpoint. Her education took conducted in Canada, Europe, and the United States, in addition to Australia. She has lived in Southern California since 1963, after living in many countries and places. During her time in Sydney, Auriel did some photographic modeling and commercial film work. In Toronto, London, and Minneapolis, she worked in the financial industry.

She also did runway modeling for a fashion firm that sold to buyers all over the world during her time in London. Auriel's passion to help others via spiritual healing moved her into a new profession for almost four decades while still a young mother, despite her profound interest in and love of spiritual subjects. Auriel produced articles and gave inspiring presentations to audiences ranging from 15 to 5,000 people throughout that time. Her marriage to Glen Livezey, who was also a healer and had taught on the subject in a number of places, provided her with beautiful company and a growing feeling of purpose.

Auriel has devoted the majority of her time since his death in 1993 to writing, publishing, speaking engagements, and running Mountaintop Publishing. She has written several books as well as two musicals.
