Synopsis
"Even before Morley told him, Dennis knew things were about to get ugly. A man did not club you unconscious, bring you to his estate and tie you to a chair in an empty storage shed out back of the place if he merely intended to give you a valentine. Morley had found out about him and Julie."
A short story in the tradition of Fleming or Dahl, "The Steel Valentine" is a gem, exemplifying the suspense writing of Joe Lansdale.
