Synopsis

HALL OF DEATH:

“My first night at the Training School for Girls was three deaths and as many years ago. Yet it is still as much a part of me as my heartbeat, and everything that took place in the seven months I was there is more than memory—it still seems to happen…” Miss Michael is hired as the superintendent’s assistant at a dismal reformatory. Life here is grim, filled with restrictions, squeezed dry of compassion. Mrs. Spinks keeps tight control of the staff, and Johnny rules the girls with a bully’s sure hand, tormenting Miss Michael as well. Johnny has a particular passion for harassing quiet Lucy. Then there is a suicide at the reformatory… and Miss Michael decides it’s time to take action.

MOUSE IN ETERNITY:

Jane Wallace works for the Social Service Bureau. It’s a thankless job. Her clients all deserve more than they get. But there is nothing Jane can do. Her supervisor, Mrs. Patch, is an ogre, never permitting anyone more than the minimum, making life in the office a daily hell. They all agree—Bea, gentle Miss Mary, Smitty, Gwen the writer, Peg, Margy, even her fellow supervisor, Mrs. Martin—Mrs. Patch is cruel beyond words. So when Jane finds her one evening lying on her desk with her skull crushed, she naturally assumes that someone in social services must have done it. But who could it be? And why is she being followed? And what happened to the file that was on Mrs. Patch’s desk the night she died?....
