Make Death Love Me

Make Death Love Me

Alan Groombridge is married to a woman he doesn’t like, is a bank manager of a tiny branch, and is doomed to a life of boredom and tedious routine. All that saves him is a fantasy of stealing enough of the bank’s money for just one year of freedom. When two men kidnap a teller in a bank robbery, Alan sees his chance and takes off with enough money to begin a new life, but soon his conscience interferes and he finds himself on the trail of the kidnapped woman.
