When Sonia's stupid, boring little husband is dead, she will be free to marry her handsome lover. But perhaps the boring little husband is not so stupid after all. Murder plans that go wrong, a burglar who makes a bad mistake, a famous jewel thief who meets a very unusual detective, these are five stories from the age of crime writing.
