The melody of death...

Down at the edge of Mexican town, where the pavement gives out and the yellow dust drifts ankle deep over the hard packed adobe, a radio is moaning a dreamy beat into the night. It is the kind of music that needs two people, but only one is listeningā€”a long legged blonde who keeps time to the music while brushing her glistening hair...

She drops the brush and reaches for the tall glass that stands on the dressing tableā€”and then she hesitates, peering into the blackness of the room beyond. There is no doubt about the sound...

ā€œFrank?ā€ She stands up and moves through the doorway, the name still on her lips. And then she dies...horribly.
