Book description
She had a plan . . .
She would find the man that had done this terrible thing to her.
She would get into her cream-colored Cadillac and drive until she
came to Blairville - his town.
She would look for his house and go there with the little
pearl-handled revolver in her purse.
Then, as calmly as she could, she would tell him who she was and why
she had come . . . and she would pull the trigger of the revolver as
many times as was necessary . . .
Born Gunard Hjerstedt in Chicago in 1903, Day Keene became
an actor in repertory theater in the early 1920's. When his actor
friends decided to try film, he instead turned to writing, and during
the 1930's was a principal writer for the Little Orphan Annie radio
show, as well as contributing to the pulps. After he moved to the west
coast of Florida, he began writing paperback originals in the late
1940's, mostly fast-paced crime stories. By the 1960's, he had
abandoned mysteries for mainstream novels. He died in North Hollywood
in 1969.
