THE CROOKED FRAME by William P. McGivern
Kill a man... or even think you have killed a man... and it leaves scars. Kill again... or think you have killed again... and with a pyschological runagate it can destroy a man's will to live. Webb Wilson couldn't face up to life even before the second body was discovered - and he with blood on his hands. There was always the memory of a whining uncertain voice during the fighting in Europe, a moment when a flare-lit battlefield revealed a falling figure in line with the sights of his rifle. William P. McGivern, author of The Crooked Frame, is a mystery writer at the top of his profession. He writes tightly, with never a wasted word; and he builds suspense in a masterly way. This book will be recognised as a worthy successor to those brilliant films, The Big Heat and Rogue Cop, both of which were scripted by William P. McGivern. First published in the USA by Dodd, Mead & Co,
New York, 1952
