Was It An Act Or Accident She Left The Door Open?

| Cover by Robert Stanley |
Bert Jackson could have
been a great reporter, if he had the patience for it. Married to a woman
with expensive taste, Jackson has spent himself into the kind of debt
that he’ll never pay off. He needs a big score, and he
needs it tonight. Working the city hall beat, Jackson has stumbled upon
the greatest corruption scandal in Miami history. If he publishes it, he
could win a Pulitzer. But it’s money that he wants, and he’ll risk
death to get it. Using the information in his story, Jackson
plans to blackmail a powerful local official for $10,000, and he asks
Mike Shayne for help. Shayne has seen too many blackmail artists wind up
dead to get involved with something like this, and he warns Jackson to
stay away. When the reporter turns up dead, it’s up to Shayne to uncover
his final scoop.
