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.
