by James Hadley Chase ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 14, 1950
A frenzied private prowl shows Vic Malloy, out to protect a client -- if the job is legal and ethical -- whose wife is suspected of kleptomania. This leads to five killings, a picture-taking racket, and a shake-down deal, and adds up to quite a dish of flesh-peddling. Bad burns for the thin-skinned here. California setting.
