 Evil Intent by John Wainwright, Fontana, 1969 Psychopath - Megalomaniac - Bedlamite... These were not empty words - they had been given flesh and life by a man more evil than his own vile preachings. Nathaniel Laycock was not a pretty sight. His baby blue eyes bulged with the stare of death. His tongue protruded from his gaping mouth. The thin cord with which he had been garrotted was almost lost within the fat of his neck...
He sat in the driving seat of the Austin police patrol car, and gazed sightlessly through the windscreen.Finally got my scanner back and working and felt I had to add this cover to the Vault library of Black Sorcery. Link to the late John Kenneth Dunham's original review here. |

I saw a copy of this in my travels but didn't pick it up. Obviously you were next in shop ...

Enjoyed the linked review - a single sentence at the end of it was probably all many of us needed: "Dennis Wheatley in a panda car."  I prefer artist renderings as a rule, and would have much preferred a female victim.  |

The crow is the finishing touch in an hysterical cover. The London Mystery Magazine quote is special too. Marvellous.
