The Black Curl

Description:

Bill Runson's happy and prosperous life turns sour when his late father's second wife, an alluring woman with neglibigle scrupes, arrives on his doorstep with her daughter--who catches Bill's eye--and another cousin in tow, all three of whom are looking forward to leading the high life at Bill's expense. Then Bill's black curl was cropped in his sleep and a body was found preserved in ice in the refrigerator.
