      The woman's husband is disappointed enough to get a whistleresque idea while atop a mule going down the Grand Canyon! Steve was in his glory. Never in his wildest dreams had he ever believed a thing like this could come to pass. Here they were, just the two of them at Carol Crandall’s special table at the Top of The Mark in San Francisco. Through the huge plate glass window he could see the shining city stretching away to the east. Everything sparkled and across from him, Carol Crandall sparkled…

      It was past midnight when Jerry Coonan left the cocktail bar with a tall blond in a mink coat. On the way out he gave the high sign to Red Stafford and Shorty Burton sitting idly at the bar waiting for the tip off and as he guided her out the front door he could see them get off their stools and prepare to leave. Jerry chuckled softly to himself; the blond was dumb and rich. The diamond pendant around her neck ought to bring $10,000 at least and he’d mentally appraised the square cut emerald on her hand $5000 more…

      An idea develops which involves a bridge, until the boiling point is finally reached! Kelly never knew exactly when it was that he decided to kill her. Thinking it over afterwards, he realized that murder is something like a pot boiling over. The fire is underneath for a long time and nothing happens, and then all at once the heat reaches a certain point and there it blows and you look back in horror to find that you've killed someone…

      Visiting hours were over and the Jeffrey Long museum in San Francisco was quiet. In the private office of the owner Jeffrey sat at his desk staring at the note in his hand; a note that was damp with his own perspiration. The hands trembled, as there was a tight nervous feeling in the pit of his stomach, symptoms of terror. It had all started three months ago when Jeffrey Long had received the first envelope when in Cairo. Then followed days and weeks of mounting fear because each Saturday thereafter, like a gentle stabbing before the final thrust, came an identical note and the message was always the same, “If you’ve killed Estelle you will die on the anniversary of her death.” And tomorrow, Sunday the 17th, is the anniversary of Estelle’s death…

      The setting for murder can be anywhere. Perhaps it seems more at home in a dark alley or on an isolated dark road or yet in the dingy backroom of a cheap honky-tonk. But once murder is in the mind of someone and the dark plan evolved, the setting can be anywhere. It can even take place in a well lighted, well appointed apartment in the expensive part of the city where laughter is mixed with the pleasant talk of four people.
