Carl G. Hodges - Naked Villainy
Suspense Novels 3, 1951
Cover Artist: Irv Docktor

"The reformer... the convict... the hideous bald man... Which one killed the strip teaser?"

Title source:
Shakespeare, Richard III, Act 1, Sc 3:

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of Scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil;
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol'n forth of Holy Writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the Devil.

Inspired by the CBS radio and television program series Suspense.
