Insurance agent John Anson, bogged down in debt, going to conclude his next deal, did not expect that he would suddenly have an excellent opportunity to pay off creditors. His client Meg Barlow offered him a get-rich-quick scheme. Anson easily became a murderer for profit. It seemed that everything was going as planned, but his instincts betrayed him: he did not notice that they were playing a cruel game with him, and this was not the police at all. The book was also published as “What are these fairy tales for,” “Stop lying,” “Step beyond the limit", "A thief among a thief...", "Tell someone else."
