Agreement to Kill

By Peter Rabe

Punching Dixon had gotten Jake Spinner thrown in jail, but now that he’s out all he wants is a fresh start back on his farm. Suddenly Dixon is dead and Spinner is on the run, escaping town in the getaway car with Dixon’s assassin in the back seat! He knows the cops won’t believe his innocence. He knows his only chance is to keep the cold, clubfooted little killer known as Loma with him. Because Loma is his ticket to a new life. His respectable life shattered, Spinner figures the only ones who’ll take him in now are the guys who hired Loma. The choice is easy - until he meets Ann.

Reviews for Agreement to Kill

[davewilde-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Agreement to Kill is Peter Rabe's take on the theme of an innocent man on the run. It takes an ordinary guy with all the evidence in his he world pointing toward his guilt and throws in a deadly Assassin, a femme fatale, and mob connections. It also includes a jury trial, Perry Mason style. However, like other Peter Rabe books, there's a certain oddness and awkwardness to the main characters and the story. Even the romantic entanglements are odd, awkward, & don't make perfect sense. But that's okay - in real life, things don't always fit together neatly and people are odd, awkward, and uncomfortable.
