He has no enemies. He certainly isn't rich. In fact, he's just a route salesman for a cosmetic company-a man of simple means. But someone has tampered with his steering and almost causes him to swerve off the road and into the canyon. Martin assumes it was just an accident until his mechanic tells him otherwise. Now he has a pock-marked man following him, and he finally realizes his life is in danger. His wife Angela, worried for his safety, calls in Bannerman, a local cop. But there is nothing he can do... until the pock-marked man strikes again!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNEVER KILL A COP! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirteen true crime stories from the pages of \u003cem\u003eRevealing Detective, Official Detective Stories\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMen\u003c\/em\u003e magazines.
