title: The Decoy
author:  Edward S. Aarons 
description: Someone was out to get Ben Sherman. First they had used cleverness, building a careful frame-up that would have meant five years in prison. When that missed, they got brutal - first a beating, then bullets. And still they failed, because Phoebe was always there, ready to help Ben with anything she had, be it a gun, a getaway car, or the sweet solace of her body.
