Standard. Professional card-cheat (called here a "mechanic") meets hot, bored wife of wealthy tax-attorney. They plot his demise, complications ensue. How does one rate LB? His stories are better written than most of this type and keep the right pace to maintain suspense but the plots are routine. Try "Double Indemnity" or "The Postman Always Rings Twice" instead. They're still the two best lethal-trio thrillers ever. TPB
