THE VENGEFUL VIRGIN by Gil Brewer Hard Case Crime #30 is a reprint of a 1958 classic. Bill Pronzini calls it one of his favorites so how could it not be good. Shirley Angela is 18, but far from sweet and innocent. What she wants to be is rich, and she has a plan for that all it takes is bringing in the right man. Jack Ruxton had his eyes open as well as.well, lets just say he and Shirley Angela worked very closely on how to rob the old man of his life and his money. At least that was their intention. Thank you Hard Case Crime, for another golden oldie.
