The Beautiful Frame Mystery Paperback Book by William Pearson Suspense 1954

"One more move,"
she purred,
"and this gun goes off!

A SUCKER
...THAT'S ME

This is the story of a corpse, two dames, and a sucker. The sucker's name is Vance Westfall, and that's me. Five weeks ago I bet a magazine that I could vanish completely for thirty days. If no one found me I would win some money and get a chance to write about my experiences.

I won! But the day I came back 1 learned that someone had been impersonating me while I was gone. I also found that this same person had committed murder ... left a gun with my fingerprints ... and walked off with two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash.

That's how I met Misty, blond and beautiful but not such a good girl after all. And that's how I stumbled on the corpse with black-haired Laura standing beside it... her gun telling me to say my prayers.

Today I have no alibi and no friends. I'm one sucker against a killer. And all can lose is my life!
