Murder Is the Pay-Off

When an innocent young woman finds herself

knee-deep in gambling— and up to her beautiful neck in debts— there’s apt to be

trouble… And trouble is what Janey Blake had plenty of. 

She had written a pile of bad checks. And she

was fighting to keep her husband from the arms of another woman… 

But other people had trouble too. Doc Wernitz,

for example. He was afraid of something. And apparently he had reason— for one

night someone bashed in his skull… 

That was the same night that Janey hit her

first jackpot in months— and found a gilded coin that a desperate killer would

stop at nothing to retrieve.
