We open the book to an urban-pastoral scene - a young couple sitting in a diner, enjoying breakfast together, reading the newspaper and looking for an apartment. One can almost hear the bacon and eggs sizzle. But slowly, we find that this unassuming couple is anything but ordinary. They are cold-blooded killers looking for their next victim.

Then call in Jay to bring down the final curtain with a cold-blooded smile and a bullet through the unfortunate senior citizen's brain. It looked as if the two killers were in for a long and successful run. But then Jay decided to improvise a little. And suddenly the murderous duo was about to find themselves cast in roles they had never rehearsed--as the victims...

A Crime Club Selection. From Dust Jacket flap: Backed by skillful, probing research, this exciting story takes the reader behind the scenes into the fascinating little-known world of the detectives who protect our mails..."Why was she being blackmailed? And why, after Postal Inspector David Madden had told her that she would have to reveal her past life if the blackmailer were caught, had she so suddenly refused his help.

Henry liked to think of it as a gentleman's agreement. They provide him with a tidy nest egg; in return the world need never know about the deed. The deed that only Henry had been clever enough to find. After all, $250,000 was a drop in the bucket to a rich corporation. Especially compared to the millions they would lose when their land reverted to a certain Miss Bessie Lewis. If the deed ever came to light. Oh yes, Henry had been very clever. Too clever for his own good. For unfortunately he was not dealing with gentlemen. And for an old lady, Miss Bessie Lewis had some surprising tricks up her sleeve...
