โฆ Synopsis
The Will to Kill was, for many years, a legendary Bloch novel, available only as an Ace paperback original that was very hard to come by.
Tom Keller is a Korean War veteran suffering from PTSD, even though that phrase did not exist at the time. He has come home from the war to a loving wife. Sometimes Keller suffers from blackouts, fugue states where he wanders and does things that he does not remember. Following one of those episodes, he wakes up with scissors in his hand and a dead wife at his feet. Her throat had been cut โฆ by scissors. He is jailed but eventually released when forensics prove he could not have performed the murder.
