The Devil's Cook

Cast of Characters

Terry Miles — She was five feet four of scenic stuff, and she wasn’t particular who explored the scenery

Farley Moran — Law student and Terry’s neighbor. He was a cool cat who lost his sang froid the night the police sent him out to meet the killer

Ben Green — Farley’s roommate. He was Terry’s type, more or less. Trouble was, he had more brains and less money than most of her playmates

Orville Reasnor — Janitor by trade, girl watcher by choice. When it came to the tenants, he never missed a trick or a torso

Fanny Moran — Farley’s half-sister. A neat little package of goodies that all the boys wanted to open, but it was marked “Don’t Touch”

Jay Miles — Professor of economics and Terry’s husband. He was the only one who didn’t seem to miss his missing wife

Otis Bowers — A brilliant physicist, but he flunked out in Adultery

Ardis Bowers — His nagging wife. To her, marriage was an institution and she intended to make Otis serve his full term, but no time off for bad behavior

Maurice Feldman — Terry’s lawyer. He knew his client’s favorite sport, but she changed partners so often he never knew who was in the game

Brian O’Hara — Small-time gambler — big-time Lothario. He only went for a sure thing, in horses or women

Capt. Bartholdi — A cop with Gallic charm. He looked like a boulevardier, but he could teach Mickey Spillane a few tricks

Freda Page — Jay Miles’ student assistant. Even thick lenses couldn’t hide the lovelight in her eyes when Jay’s name was mentioned
