  No Evidence - Death on the Edge...

  No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln - A man begins to sense that part of himself has slipped away—only to reappear in Ireland, where he was born. What unfolds is a haunting tale of divided identity and the eerie possibility of living two lives at once. 
  Victoria Lincoln (1904–1981) was an American novelist, biographer, essayist, and occasional contributor to speculative fiction, best remembered for her psychological insight and the quiet, persistent tension woven into her work. Born in Fall River, Massachusetts—a town infamous for its connection to Lizzie Borden—Lincoln grew up with a keen awareness of history, local legend, and the undercurrents of human behavior. She studied at Radcliffe College, later embarking on a writing career that spanned novels, nonfiction, journalism, and short fiction. 
  Lincoln’s 1934 novel February Hill was among her earliest successes, later adapted into both a stage play and a motion picture. She went on to publish widely in respected periodicals, writing essays, social commentary, and book reviews. But she also had an enduring fascination with mystery and crime, which culminated in her acclaimed biography A Private Disgrace: Lizzie Borden by Daylight (1967), a meticulous psychological portrait of Fall River’s most infamous resident. That book, drawing upon her own intimate knowledge of the town, remains one of the most compelling examinations of the Borden case ever written. 
  Over the decades, Victoria Lincoln’s work earned her respect not only for its literary polish but also for its unique mixture of empathy and unflinching observation.
