by Nancy Rutledge ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 24, 1949
The smoothly sustained criminal career of Chad Severn, who relies on the absolute affection of his wife, Emily, to keep her from knowing that he has killed her rich father, and that he will kill her too- if necessary. If Emily is slow to suspicion, it is the vigilance of his friend, Lael, which drives him to kill again and again- and finally exposes him to Emily and the police. Easy entertainment.
