Mystery.
HTML: When Jim Charters drank, he talked too much. He claimed he could get Pearl Mantinover out of the death house because he could prove she was innocent. Shooting off his mouth this time led Jim into the tightest spot of his life . . . The next morning he woke up with $10,000 in his hand and voluptuously naked Lou Tarrent in his bed. Jim was on a chase that kept him running for his life, for Lou was all woman and wouldn't take no for an answer! .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

But, Prison had not been kind to her. "She was no longer the black-haired vixen who had cursed the prosecutor up one side and blistered him down the other." She thought she got a raw deal because she worked in a cafe and lived with a man without marrying him.
Charters somehow winds up racing around town trying to prove her innocence,
no easy feat when the radio is reporting that he just committed a couple of murders and the mob is after him about $10,000 he conned out of a wiseguy.
It is nonstop action until the end in this great pulp novel. Keene got it right when he wrote this one. The atmosphere is
created just right. the characters are great. you really feel as if you are back in the late fifties or early sixties in a small Florida town. A great story told well.
Like Death House Doll, Keene is telling another tale about an innocent woman locked in prison and the guy who thinks he can get her out and find the real killer. The stories are quite different however. ( )
