Ferron was part hoodlum, part gigolo, a guy who’d break your arm as quick as he’d look at you. Suddenly his whole world began to shatter with unspeakable savagery.

Sleep With The Devil (1954)

THE beautiful red-haired girl told Ferron he was a heel straight down the line.

But she’d do anything for him—anything at all.

Wayne would find out, too, that Ferron was part hoodlum, part gigolo, a guy who’d break your arm as quick as he’d look at you.

Yet Wayne wanted to give him a quarter of a million bucks.

And the police knew that Ferron was the most wanted man in the state.

But they did nothing about it. They didn’t even look for him.

It was a swell setup, Ferron thought.

They’d never get him because he was too smart.

Maybe.

He began to wonder . . . and then suddenly his whole world began to shatter with unspeakable savagery.

Sleep With The Devil is a sixteen chapter novel first published in 1954.
