Description
J T Oliver wrote The Killer for Imagination in March nineteen fifty-two. Smith made a profitable business out of murder, the blurb says plainly. He killed a man and then disposed of the body, forever. The sign on his door reads Ernest H Smith, Private Investigator.
A brunette in a yellow dress opens that door one day. I am Mrs Wilma Rogers, she says: you were recommended to me. Smith waves her to a chair and asks, do you have a card. She hands him a small card printed with the words recommended to Smith. He opens a desk drawer and takes out a small bottle of red liquid. A few drops spill as the tale's machinery starts. Oliver's detective sells death by appointment.
