Overview

Lady, Beware!<br/><br/>Every Sunday afternoon James Fenton and his wife took their usual walk-every Sunday afternoon. The pattern never changed.<br/><br/>Then Fenton reached his breaking point.<br/><br/>The idea of escape had never occurred to him before. But suddenly something clicked in his brain.<br/><br/>"Now, at this minute, "he thought, "one gesture of mine might change someone's future. Theft, fire, faces smashed in . . . murder."<br/><br/>So Fenton chose No. 8 Boulting Street as a starting point for the greatest adventure of his life.<br/><br/>He rang the bell and a young woman answered. Fenton had the impulse to say, "I have come to strangle you." Instead he took off his hat and smiled. "Do you rent rooms?" he asked.
