And Dan Slick was in the middle of all this!

“If he should die,” she suggested, “all his money would come to me. Are you a good shot, darling?”

“Make love to my wife”, he said, “and I’ll give you more money than you’ve ever seen!”

James L. Rubel weaves a net of intrigue, a story of punch and Judas, featuring Mr. Dan Slick, the guy who knew all about women until he met that fabulous fluff … the Fraudulent Broad.

Dan found the zipper clasp, slowly ran it down her back. The material slid from her naked shoulders.

“How do I look?” she asked softly with parted lips.

“Better than all your husband’s money,” he answered.

She ran the tips of her fingers along the ridge of his jaw. “If my husband should die,” she said, “all his money would revert to me as his only heir. It’s as simple as that. Are you a good shot, Dan darling?”

Dan grinned. “There’s an old saying that can do it better with gas. Me, I never believed it.”
