Mildred D. Taylor, on writing:
I do not know how old I was when the daydreams
became more than that,
and I decided to write them down,
but by the time I entered high school,
I was confident that I would one day be a
writer.
- Mildred D. Taylor.

Description:
An ambitious Reno salesman. A wealthy would-be divorcée. An insurance policy. It’s a toxic combination in this noir thriller by an MWA Grand Master . . .
Jane Delvan had dark, red hair and plenty of shape of a nice, refined kind. To Ed Horner she was only a little fancy flirtation under the Nevada moon, but he found some peculiar circumstances developing when Jane’s husband, Tom Delavan, himself came to town, followed very shortly afterwards by his first wife, the beautiful but jealous Lady Sperry.
Ed wondered what kind of game Jane Delavan was
playing with him, leading him on as she was? And why should Lady Sperry take a
heated interest in him of a sudden? What were the cause of secret midnight
callers roaming at will through hotel bedrooms? Suddenly Ed Horner found
himself slowly being ringed about by a group of hard-hating, highly emotional
people who all had motives that involved them in a case of murder and the
Jealous Woman.
If Las Vegas is a city of lovers, in Reno, the business is divorce. Six weeks in Reno can erase the darkest marriages, and the only question is how to pass the time – craps or roulette? Jane Delavan is a roulette woman, a stately beauty from back East who is too classy for the motel where she’s shacked up. She’s come for a divorce, but her husband has other ideas. He wants an annulment, and in exchange offers to take out a $100,000 insurance policy on himself – just in case something happens to him before their paperwork goes through. Jane is cunning enough to make sure that if she wants something to happen, it will. Ed Horner is the insurance agent sent to settle the agreement, and it doesn’t take long for Jane to settle him. They fall in love over twenty-five-cent roulette and soon have a bigger score in mind. In the Biggest Little City in the World, a king-size scheme is brewing . . .
