DEADLIER THAN THE MALE Helen is in Reno for her second divorce and staying with Mrs. Krantz and her daughter Rachel at their boarding house. Mrs. Krantz's drinking companion, Laura Pollicker, lives next door. That night she is murdered, and Helen discovers the body-and wastes no time in returning to the San Francisco house she shares with his sister Georgia. How could she know that the very man who meets and marries her sister only days later is the same man who had slit Mrs. Pollicker's throat. Sam Wild is a powerful man, tall, muscular, with very little control over his emotions. His friend Mart watches out for him, but Sam sometimes just can't help himself-he has to kill. Now he's got a rich wife with an attractive sister, and he's just biding his time until he can take over Georgia's money and get rid of her, too. But that's when Helen steps in with some plans of her own. Film Noir Classic #7.
