Armchair Fiction presents large, deluxe editions of classic mystery-crime novels. “The Crooked Circle” is a gritty tale of suicide and murder; authored by veteran crime/mystery novelist Manning Lee Stokes. A hundred grand could tempt anyone. Private investigator Steve Paget had always thought he would do anything for money. But nothing quite as vile, as really low-down as Jefferson Torrance’s proposition had ever been offered to him before. The fee—$100,000—was large enough to tempt a prosperous man. To Steve Paget, forty, broke, with no prospects, it represented a new start in life—his last chance. He knew that Jeff Torrance of the Torrances could probably get away with anything in Steel City. And, if that’s how he wanted to treat his wife, even one as beautiful as Janet, it wasn’t Steve’s affair. Still… Suicide and murder took the decision out of his hands and catapulted him into the most deadly situation of his dangerous career.
