The Lady Kills1951

Old Cleave should have known better than to use a whip. But no man ever knew what Beth would do. Her father suspected that she enjoyed killing. Her husband learned the truth too late. And I saw it happen. Saw her and wanted her, and understood least of all Another of Fischer's later titles, first published in 1951. The Lady Kills is spread out across years, with a newspaperman, a gambler, a young boy, the woman they all loved, and that oh-so-special way she treats her lovers. Special, and deadly.
