David Anderson
Jess Matthews and Cora Lambert, in David Dodge's 1954 thriller 'The Lights of Skaro'. This is the best "couple on the run" novel I've read. It also has a brilliant opening sentence: 'The goats were poor traveling companions'.
Dodge cleverly and expertly manipulates the reader right up to the very last page. Can Jess and Cora stand each other long enough to stay together and keep ahead of their relentless pursuers? Will they succeed in escaping against all the odds? And what of their relationship then?
Read this largely forgotten but excellent novel to find out.
