Told in the slick underworld idiom, this story of violence, mystery and sudden death crackles with action. Nick Mason, a reporter, witnesses on execution and gains a clue from the condemned man which precipitates him into a network of crime and murder. He meets and marries Mardi, a beautiful secretary, whom he believes will help him in his dangerous work. He is repeatedly warned against the danger of continuing his investigation, but hangs on against innumerable odds. Finally, the gang is trapped and sentenced, and Nick and Mardi settle down happily together. Nemesis is around the corner — and, well, read for yourself. The end comes like the crack of a whip.

Greed and lust led lovely Julie Holland down the dark road to murder. Being in love with a cheap crook promised to be exciting, but she found he already had a jealous mistress. He also had a friend called Theo, who specialized in disfiguring beautiful women with an acid bath in the face. Suddenly Julie found she was a partner in the most sensational robbery London had seen for a decade. She had agreed to work as a ladies’ maid, but had not counted on the woman being mad, nor on a blind husband who sometimes appeared to see extremely well. Still, Julie might have escaped from it all, if only she could have resisted the fabulous furs, but death was no warmer in a mink coat.
