Kenneth Fearing - THE GENEROUS HEART - Bodley Head 1st 1955 ex-library

Description: AUTHOR - KENNETH FEARING TITLE - THE GENEROUS HEART PUBLISHER & EDITION - The Bodley Head 1st 1955 hardback Campaign Consultants, who specialized in raising funds for good causes, were a likeable, varied group of men - Jay Ravoc, the tycoon; Vincent Beechwood, 'a mall, compact, chronically short-circuited man'; and Stanley Thornhill, the president's son, who 'seemed a little dim, and yet there were moments when he lit up with all kinds of fancy lights'. The Generous Heart Society was one of the queerest assignments they had ever had to tackle, and the slogan they devised for it ‘The Generous Heart Grows Rich in Giving’ was absolutely appropriate. The officers of the Society had every intention of growing rich and, as for giving, they were going to see that others did that. They were prepared to be broadminded about methods, too. The executives of Campaign Consultants had no idea what they were really up to. But being highly imaginative they were soon full of suspicion of each other. The atmosphere was already dangerously charged when the accident occurred in Central Park and the explosion followed. Or was it an accident? Suspicion turned to fear and hatred as the word 'murder' made its way into all their minds. Even the lovely Shana, who had seen the whole thing with her own eyes, came to distrust those closest to her, even Jay, with whom she was in love. His reckless gamble to win back her confidence leads to the story's thrilling climax. Combining as always swiftness of pace with distinction of style, the author of The Big Clock, etc., has fashioned his most compelling novel.
