The tension of unfeeling horror runs through a smooth yarn as a printer turns his hand to counterfeiting and murder. Secure in the unsuspected murder of his unfaithful wife, Darius Conn bumps off a young mechanic and waitress who are engaged -- just to insure the secrecy of a few counterfeit bills. His plague is a companionable young widow, his office girl who asks too many questions; his downfall is his wife's lover, who happens to be a cop. Straight but not stiff shot.
