AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'WHEN Laura’s husband met his death through using a faulty electric razor, only two people knew it was murder. One was Laura— the other was Elmer Garner. Elmer was a young man who liked money, and Laura had plenty now that Robert was dead; but she refused to make a deal with Elmer, and when a jury found her not guilty of her husband’s murder she moved to another city. Elmer was forgotten. But Elmer did not forget her, and fate worked in a strange way to bring them together again. Then stark tragedy entered the lives of three people.'
