Detective Jack Carter is working on the Bicycle Chain murders and his eighth victim has just been found. No matter how hard he works he seems to be one step behind. But this victim is different. This victim is holding a bag with a pickle in it. Something keeps nagging at him but he can’t put his finger on it until his secretary, and object of his lusty thoughts, Vicky Peik stand just a little too close. When it dawns on him that he has smelled her perfume at several of the murder victims locations he thinks he has the story wrapped up. Little does he know that Vicky has been a step ahead of him, herself. She has been trying to steer him in the right direction and in the process becomes the target of someone with a warped mind. Can either Jack or Vicky figure out what’s going on before it comes between their potential romance?
This story was interesting in that it read like an old-time PI book. It was hard to keep up with who did what and that’s always good in a suspense but the romance wasn’t that believable for me and the twist at the end left me feeling oddly dissatisfied. However, this story was well-written and if you enjoy investigative tales the way they used to be told then you should enjoy this short story.
I give this 3.5 Ayres (RORR)
