The Velvet Fleece
THE VELVET FLEECE
When their mark in a Miami con drops dead, Silky figures it's time to head West to Hart City on the California coast. And since Rick is their point man, he gets the job of setting up the fix. It looks like a piece of cake, ripe for the serving. All he has to do is pose as the best friend of a rich young war widow's dead husband, and he's in. With the rubes in this town, Rick figures it's a cinch.
Of course, there's Silky's girlfriend, Tory, who's bored with the boss and only has eyes for Rick. She's supposed to be in Havana, but Tory is no fool. She's followed Rick out west. And how he's got his hands full trying to keep the widow and Tory apart, while working a con of his own, only this time he's going to try to con Silky...
This release is the third in a new series of books that were turned into classic film noirs. The Velvet Fleece was filmed as Larceny in 1948 with John Payne, Joan Caulfield, Dan Duryea and Shelley Winters.
