Because Mumsie got so far under his skin Red couldn't think straight.</p><p></p><p>But that was ten years ago. Now Red has a new girl and has put the past behind him. He's taken Whit Mumsie and that unfortunate murder of his ex-partner and buried them deep. If only they'd stayed there. Now he's being blackmailed to do just one more job. Red knows he's being set up for a fall but his past pulls him right back in-right where Whit and Mumsie want him.</p><p></p><p>Film Noir Classics #13</p>
