The Pitfall — Jay J. Dratler

“Mona” Beauty and Torment…

From the first time he heard her name, Jon could feel the fuse burning -- burning slow and sure as death -- burning down toward the explosion that would have to come at the end.

Jon loved two women. For Sue, his wife, he would do anything -- work, lie, cheat -- and kill, if he had to. He would do anything -- except stay away from Mona.

Mona meant trouble, and he knew it. His mind said, “No!” -- but his feet led him, step by step, farther along the path of deception -- straight to Mona and THE PITFALL.
