It is difficult to imagine shy, gentle, soft eyed little deer as ever being dangerous. In Danger from Deer, Vicki Baum created a monstrous character, whose tiny stature and doe-eyed beauty belies her true nature.
Mrs Ann Ambros is a tiny, frail looking elderly lady, who around the end of the second world war, is aided by a porter as she steps up into a railway car in California. Aboard the train she is further aided by the family lawyer and his friend a Major Ryerson, as she impatiently awaits the arrival of her step-daughter Joy. Mrs Ambros and Joy are embarking upon a journey to meet Mrs Ambros?s son Charles, Joy?s adored half-brother, it?s a journey which will result in trouble for Charles, and once aboard the train Joy is quick to plead with her mother to change her plans.
