...LIVERPOOL CATS, by Sylvia Sherry (Lippincott; $3.95). Three fine books about domestic adventures-including murder-set in the slums of English cities. The writing is clear and fast paced, without ever talking down to the reader. Americans may be stumped by an occasional term-perhaps not by "tea" for supper, or "chips" for French fries, but certainly by "scuffers" for cops...

...street procession and was seized by a wild urge to assault him on the spot. After returning to England, he confided to friends that he felt "the Great Fiend" was pursuing him. His worried father took him to the country for a rest. While the pair was strolling after supper, Richard Dadd turned on his father and stabbed him through the heart...
