The Deadly Desire

There were seven of them, that white-hot summer at Malibu, with seven different deadly desires, each primed for explosion - and each focused on the destruction-hungry woman named Star Osborne.

Robert Colby was the author of more than a dozen crime thriller novels and short stories, most notably The Captain Must Die. Some of his other works include The Deadly Desire and Murder Mistress. He was also a prolific contributor of short stories to Alfred Hitchcock magazine and Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine--many were later published into two anthology collections.
