About this book

Who's Calling? is the fifth book in Helen McCloy's Dr Basil Willing Mystery series. Wouldn't you like to know what a poltergeist is? The engagement of Archie, a young doctor, to night club artiste Frieda sets off a sequence of eerie and seemingly unexplainable events, all starting with a strange, cruel warning on the telephone. As the supernatural mysteries continue, a shocking murder takes place - and that can't be explained by a ghost. Dr Basil Willing steps in to help the four people involved in these hauntings answer the question: Could I have committed a murder without knowing it? PRAISE FOR HELEN MCCLOY & WHO'S CALLING? 'This book would be a shame to miss out on, especially for Golden Age mystery readers. To me it is the epitome of perfection.' - Reader Review 'Helen McCloy's handling of the plot and the characterization is fully up to the high standard she has set for herself in her other books.' - New York Times 'She is in the very top rank' - Julian Symons, Sunday Times 'McCloy's talent transcends the generations' - Barry Turner, Daily Mail 'If we had a Pulitzer Prize for mysteries (and we should have) Helen McCloy would be a leading candidate.' - Will Cuppy, New York Herald Tribune 'The reader will want to hear more of Dr Willing's exploits.' - James Grey, New York Sun 'Miss McCloy compels you to read every word.' - Maurice Richardson, The Observer 'Miss McCloy is definitely the best butter' - The Spectator
