“I had killed a man, for money and a woman. I didn't have the money and I didn't have the woman.”

When Walter Huff, an Insurance Agent, meets Phyillis Nirdlingler, a gorgeous married woman, he's ready for anything to ensure her affection.
After fifteen years in the job, Walter is good at reading people intentions, and even when Phyillis is only exposing thoughts about her husband, Walter finds himself already planning the perfect fraud and the perfect murder. But the couple's success, brief as it was, will soon backfire at them.

"for what she knew about me, and because the world isn't big enough for two people once they've got something like that on each other".


I liked the writing, fluid, simple yet so addictive. One of the best "romans noirs" I've read and it surely won't be the last.

Hitessh, thanks buddy for the recommendation!!

What a trip!

The book is so short, so I'll leave it at that. I implore you to check it out for yourself.
