Lionel White was famous for his heist crime novels and their formula is always the same, just the details are different. Crooks plan to rob a bank, devise an elaborate plan for it, but something goes wrong and in in the end they kill each other because of the money, before police catch up with them. So it is with this novel where desperate undertaker teams up with two criminals, one of them a maniac, and a slut. They use dead alcoholic for their plan but his daughter turns up to find him so they abduct her. Two important movies were made based upon White's novels, The Killing (1956) and Night Of The Following Day (1969).
