Not only did it win the $100 prize, but, published anonymously, it marked the first in the series of \"blood \u0026amp; thunder tales\" that would be her livelihood for years.\nIn Behind a Mask, editor Madeleine Stern introduces four Alcott thrillers: \"Pauline's Passion and Punishment,\" \"The Mysterious Key,\" \"The Abbot's Ghost,\" and the title story, \"Behind a Mask.\" First published in one volume in 1975, they are regarded as Alcott's finest work in this genre.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0688151329\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0688151329.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Alcott, Louisa May\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
