BRINK OF DISASTER

Robert Cane, a pusillanimous man leashed to a rigid woman, is implicated in the death of a younger one he'd been ""larkin"" with, cleared by his wife's alibi. He seems to be an ideal prospective patsy for some newcomers in town, who have a young cousin who is unwanted-- except for her thirty thousand pounds. All of this is developed in a consistent, persistent fashion so that the prosaic circumstances and characters assume an unpleasant plausibility.
