Send No Flowers
6 pp · crime

When a florist becomes an unwitting accomplice to the mob, a detective must pose as Carlo Dennis's naive nephew to flush out the killers who gunned him down in his own shop. Working undercover alongside the flower shop's sole witness, Toni Mayne, the officer soon discovers that his supposed weaknesses as a cop might be exactly the edge he needs to outsmart a ruthless crime syndicate. "Send No Flowers" is a taut 1952 crime tale where nothing—and no one—is quite what they seem.
