Phyllis Paul
Phyllis Paul published eleven novels between 1933 and 1967, but otherwise left almost no trace of herself. She was unmarried, lived quietly, and was intensely private. She died in 1973, at the age of 70, after being hit by a motorcycle. If not for a label on her pocket handkerchief, her body would have remained unidentified.

Foreword by Jeremy M. Davies
“Beautifully executed, deeply unsettling, [Twice Lost] is enigmatic and ambiguous in the way of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Weir’s film Picnic at Hanging Rock . . . Astonishing.” —Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
Who could have been so cruel as to do away with poor Vivian Lambert? And why oh why couldn’t she just stay dead?
