Kill Me a Fortune

For Ross Elliot the summer held no promise. With his teaching duties over until fall he found himself facing boredom with time on his hands. Which was why he didnt hesitate to involve himself in the affairs of one Barbara Erickson ex-student and accused murderess.As far as Elliot was concerned it simply wasnt possible for one so young -- and so lovely -- to be capable of such a horrendous crime. And what if he was the only one who believed in her innocence? A couple of months playing private-eye would be just the change of pace he needed.But after he had started poking around a little Ross Elliott began to wonder if he really was a very good judge of character. And when someone started taking pot-shots at him he knew he still might be bored that summer -- right through the heart with a .38 bullet!
