Hunted Down by Charles Dickens
A life assurance manager recounts how professional instincts lead him to suspect a polished gentleman whose attentions to a frail, heavily insured young woman signal a murderous fraud. Quiet investigation reveals a pattern of slow poisoning meant to profit from life policies. Exposed at last, the predator’s facade collapses, and he chooses self-destruction rather than face justice.
