...shambles. New paint was already peeling. Plumbing leaked. I had already paid for half of these so-called renovations, but now we smelled a rat and sought a lawyer. He told us to stall while a title search was made. It wasn't easy, as the deed number had been obscured on the copy the general had given us.

She's acting like an adult in real life too, with a brand-new Harvard degree, a deed on a house and the cover of next month's Vogue. Then again, Natalie sports a flapper-girl bob that's just like her girlish one, and when she donned a sheer gown for a recent event, her makeup artist had to point out that her nipples were showing...
...killer - the janitor had let him out of his room, he went to Mavis? place hoping for an anniversary reunion and, when she rudely rejected his affections, he strangled her with his scarf (overtones of Franchot Tone!) - but he doesn?t remember because his alcoholic stupor blotted out the deed. Now that all is clear, he wants to save the husband of the woman he loves. A killer racing against time to turn himself in: that?s a poignant twist...
