A Small Deceit by Margaret Yorke

Although the sentence her served was for rape and assault, William Adams is a cold-hearted killer. Now he's free- free to change his name and start a new life. At a rural guest house, his dream becomes a nightmare- for him and others- when he meets someone from his past. Someone who also hides under a false name. But from a small deceit, great crimes can grow...
