β¦ Synopsis
THE PERFECT $1,000,000 CRIME
It started at a bull session on a rainy afternoon. It developed into a plan by five non-criminals four college kids and a girl to rob the richest gambling house in Reno.* It ended as a crime accomplished, a perfect crime, but with a twist at the end which it would not be fair to reveal here.
How the robbery was organized, how it was carried through, what happened after it was successful, make this book one of the most unusual and suspenseful crime stories in many years. Read the first chapter and you won't be able to stop till you reach the end.
*This book was read by the manager of the famous Harold's Club in Reno and he found it so plausible that he completely revamped the club's security regulations.
