AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'DON CLARKE had never thought of murder until he met the beautiful and selfish Burna. He married her only to find she was interested only in his money. Even then he might not have thought of murder, but Burna threatened to cause trouble to Ann, his secretary, and taunted him with the fact that Ann loved him. Then Don Clarke did think of murder. But his plan didn't work out ... because a woman loved him, and because he took a long shot.'
