THE LAST STRAW

The commonplace book of young, weak Dean Lipscomb records the theft of bonds and certificates -- to placate a demanding wife -- and shows the way that leads to murder. With his victim not found until two months later, Dean is secure that nothing points to him, but bits and pieces begin to corroborate the possibility of his guilt and the dark pattern of crime is revealed. Slow but steady.
