He was an ex-con walking the last steps toward freedom after four years in prison.... He was an ex-con—torn between the lust to get the man who "sent him up the river" and the vow to go straight; torn between returning to his faithful wife and his pulse-quickening Cuban mistress.... As the prison gates closed behind him he met—not his wife but the enticing Cuban. She took him to a private retreat in the woods. She was everything that he remembered. Then suddenly she was cold—COLD AND DEAD IN HIS ARMS!

Day Keene, whose real name was Gunnar Hjerstedt, was one of the leading paperback mystery writers of the 1950s. Along with writing over 50 novels, he also wrote for radio, television, movies, and pulp magazines. Often his stories were set in South Florida or swamp towns in Louisiana, and included a man wrongly accused and on the run, determined to clear his name.
