A Deadly Agreement
“When I met evil, in a dingy I in London, it was wearing a red French beret and had the face of an angel.” London, 1938. Petty criminal Danny Beck is released from prison. A handsome and thoroughly unscrupulous young man, Danny will do anything, use anyone, to get what he wants, and no one's going to get the better of him. His charm soon lands Danny a cushy job at a posh country house, where he gets to work trying to seduce his boss’s virginal daughter. But Phoebe Merrill isn’t the pushover he was expecting. To win her, he must first prove himself, but Danny is shocked when she tells him how. Phoebe may have the face of an angel, but he discovers there’s a devil inside when she asks him to murder her father. The rewards are too tempting to refuse. With her father dead, Danny will get the girl, her fortune and the easy high life he craves. Perhaps he should ask Phoebe why she wants her father dead, but Danny’s never been one to ask too many questions. It’s a habit he may live to regret.
