Recalling the best of the mystery authors in his old-fashioned story made fresh, Ellison provides twists, turns, and an unexpected ending in his new book, The Scheme.

After he meets Kathy face to face, the two come up with a devious scheme of their own, one that will leave jimmy in jail, and Kathy with the four million she feels that she richly deserves.
