The Devil His Due / Doubles in Death (Paperback)

Paperback. THE DEVIL HIS DUEHandsome Dicky Corrigan figures the world owes him. And if the world isn't going to give him what he's due, he's just going to take it. Blair is his latest mark. She's finagled rich boy Tom Bartwell into proposing marriage, and doesn't want anything to get in the way of her plans. She certainly doesn't want her past association with a gangster to be made public. She's got Tom, and his over-bearing father right where she wants them. But once Dicky gets a hold over her, Blair's life becomes hell. And she's not alone-nobody stands in Dicky's way, not even if it means murder.DOUBLES IN DEATHAlan Patterson is an ad executive and Lucy Hanson a receptionist in the building, and during lunch, he strikes up a conversation with her.

She starts calling him at home. At first Alan's wife Judy brushes her off, but then Lucy sends a letter, and her concern begins to grow. Alan tries to put a stop to Lucy, but she just doesn't seem to get the message. Then Merle enters the scene. He also works in the building. Merle dreams of the soft life.
