Severed Ties
To his co-workers, Paul Mizzell was a shy but competent artist whose life alternated between his home and his drawing board.
To his boss, he was a reclusive enigma whose painful shyness seemed to walk the thin edge of fear.
To his girlfriend, he was a gentle, boyish companion, a novice at the manly arts of love.
Only one person knew the truth-that "Paul Mizzell" was a fiction. That the fiction concealed a savage crime. Only one person knew just how little separated Paul Mizzell from homicidal madness..and just how little it would take to push him over the edge-again!

About the author
George E. Simpson
16 books3 followersUS author, film scriptwriter and sound effects editor who worked with Universal Studios for several years. With Neal R Burger (1931-2005) he wrote three sf novels, all with a strong espionage-thriller flavour.
Ghostboat (1976) centres on the submarine USS Candlefish, believed lost during World War Two, which reappears in modern times minus her crew. The solution of this mystery involves an uneasy mix of Timeslip and supernatural elements, leading to a grim but predictable resolution. Thin Air (1978) is based on the supposed 1943 "Philadelphia Experiment" attempt to render a US warship invisible (see Invisibility); decades later, the protagonist's investigation uncovers secret ongoing Matter Transmission experiments that began during the war years.
Fair Warning (1980) is an Alternate History tale involving efforts by US General George Marshall and US Secretary of State Henry Stimson (without President Harry Truman's knowledge) to avoid the use of the atomic bomb against Japan by convincing them to surrender; Josef Stalin becomes involved in an effort to steal the weapon for the USSR. Together,
