This fifth volume takes a walk on the wild sideHard to handle: Con leads to con when the prize money for a rigged dance marathon is stolenLadies they talk about: "Nan Taylor, caught after an otherwise successful bank robbery, falls for radio crusader David Slade and confides her guilt to him. Much to her surprise, he turns her in. As a "new fish" at San Quentin, Nan fits right in, but won't see Slade, who still loves her. Then she learns that her former partners in crime, Don and Dutch, are on the other side of the wall in the men's section and have an escape plan."--Rod Crawford in the IMDB, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024238The mind reader: Con man "Chandra" pretends to be clairvoyant, but his girlfriend wants him to go straightMiss Pinkerton: Scion of the once-rich Mitchell family, Herbert Wynn is found shot to death.
