Dames, Dives and Death: Death Eidolons: Collected Short Stories 2014
ISBN: 9781543221756 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Upon opening a time capsule from 1968, the author finds a letter written by a condemned insurance agent from Texas only minutes before his arrest on capital murder charges. The letter relates the agent's downfall at the hands of a crooked police detective and a twisted woman. Though he was undoubtedly innocent of the crime, history long ago recorded his apprehension, trial and execution. By the time you read his letter, fifty years will have passed, and nothing can be done to save its author. His tale is a cautionary one, however, and so well worth reading. Beware of dames, dives, and death.
