Evil Became Them by Pat Root © 1959
Synopsis: (from the back of the book)
Three Sadists…
These were the three Vails, uninhibited, unconventional, unscrupulous…
Phillip, who drank too much to disguise the decadence in his life…
Douglas, who painted weird pictures and delighted in the grotesque…
Lise, who was as beautiful as woman could be, and as deadly.
The Vails built their lives around a morbid pattern of violence and brutality. For them, morality had no meaning; murder itself could become a matter of pride…and when they set out to gain the fortune they believed was rightfully theirs, only one man – a man they believed a coward – dared to stand in their way…
The duel which followed would have delighted the Devil himself.
Comments: How good does this book sound?! I’m loving it so far. I’ll never understand why so many of these great old pulp books aren’t being re-printed with their original cover art. A lost art definitely worth preserving. You won’t find these on Kindle. (more…)
