Return to Vikki

Vikki's Sensual Body Was The Bait They Used to Lure Him Into a Trap... Frank Selby is two men... the man he is today, living in a split-level ranch house, married to his boss' daughter, and enjoying a typical, 9-to-5 working life. And then there is the man that he was...the smooth, debonair mastermind behind a series of daring heists. Now his secret past is coming back to haunt him in the deadly, seductive form of his old love Vikki, who lures him into one last job, a heist that pits him against his sadistic former mob boss, her brutal new boyfriend...and the police, who want him for a murder he didn't commit. A tightly-written, fast-moving piece, with well-developed minor characters and a tense, timed-to-the-second caper told in gritty prose. It's pleasant to be reminded just how taut and enjoyable these two-bit paperbacks could be. Mystery File A pulp noir classic, back in print for the first time in 65 years
