YOU'LL GET YOURS
"A dark room...a warm woman...a cold knife..."
It begins at the end of the line--with a killing. But it had started simply enough when press agent Archie St. George hires private investigator, Barney Glines, to retrieve some missing jewels stolen from his beautiful client, Kyle Shannon. Glines knows he's being set-up for something but he goes along with the exchange out of curiosity more than anything. That--and Kyle Shannon.
Turns out that the real "jewels" are a cache of nude photos of Miss Shannon, who is now being blackmailed. Soon Glines finds himself in a dead woman's room--who's been shot with his own gun--and the police are jumping to conclusions. It's beginning to look like whoever's behind the blackmail wants to make sure that Glines is the fall guy. Unless Glines can find him first.
Review Quotes
"It's as if Cain set out to write a private eye novel."--Mystery*File
"The writing is pure Cain, terse and hardboiled. The book is not primarily about a crime or crimes being solved, but about a group of people hurtling themselves headlong toward their own self-destruction."--Stephen Mertz, Mystery*File
"Electrifying suspense..."--Swank magazine
