Kill With Kindness — Dell Shannon

'There oughta be a law against charity - the selfish kind. But there's not. So when I heard about the nurse who was carrying her contribution too far, what could I do? Still the story made no sense. The thing had me going...'

It seemed this babe, this practical nurse, was breaking her back for a nice old lady who had nothing to offer - not even the money to pay a decent wage. The neighbors didn't like the scene. Especially when the old lady started acting wacky. Drugs? That's what they all suspected. But why? A crime has to have a motive. And there was none here. So how could a hardened detective like me, Luis Mendoza - a cop who could smell murder a mile away - a tough guy who was used to dealing with dangerous weapons - how could I have guessed that this deadly babe had come up with a new one...that she was killing with kindness?
