SO DEADLY FAIRIt was dark and raining when Walter Johnson crawls out of the freight car that night. So when he sees a woman motioning to him from the window of a house across from the tracks, he decides to investigate. What he finds is a bloodied corpse, and the set-up with him as the killer. But Johnson doesn't intend to allow himself to be railroaded into a murder charge. He grabs the woman who tried to frame him, and takes off with her for California. Elizabeth is no victim herself. Sooner or later, she is going to have her way. She settles in with Johnson as a reluctant married couple, but Johnson knows that it's only a matter of time before she makes her break. He just didn't realize that this time he'd be accused of her murder.DIAMONDS DON'T BURNClara and her husband John have grown apart. Then John introduces her to his friend Roger, and she feels an immediate attraction. But Clara is torn. She doesn't want to become an unfaithful wife. Still, Roger is persuasive, and Clara finds herself meeting him in a New York hotel room. What neither of them could suspect is that a diamond robbery has been planned for the next room that night. Mike Grant has been working on this plan for some time, and nothing is going to get in his way. But how could he know that the man he has set out to rob would wake up, that he would be forced to shoot him? And that racing to escape he would bump into Clara, also trying to escape her situation? Who could foresee that their bags would get mixed up in the confusion?
