#548 Charm City- Robert Stone
Frank Bower falls for a con. He is attending a music recital
alone at the museum, and lets himself be seduced by a mysterious woman. He is
married but likes the taste of a little adventure and drives her across the bay
to his second house. All the while, the woman remains vague and intriguing.
When they get to the house, she feigns remorse and asks to be driven home.
We see later that the meeting was not a random occurrence,
but a set up, and she had successfully used his vanity to scope out his house
for a robbery.
Notable Passage: “Everybody loves you when you’re somebody
else.”
