В четверг дне библиотекарши. Памела Крик и Биол-летта Мид, должны были работать в библиотеке Бенгама до девяти часов вечеря. Девушки были не прочь пора­ботать до поздна: в их маленьком городке почти не было рааплечений для двух незамужних молодым особ. Вот по­чему, когда инспектор местной полиции Эллнс предложил давать уроки дзюдо всем, кто хотел этим заняться, Памела записалась первой. Она начала изучать дзюдо точно так, как делала see остальные дела: старательно и с огромным
Lesson r*ent,
интересом. Она всегда старалась изо всех сил, чтобы до­стичь результата. Она была маленького роста, но в дзюдо ;1тоне нмеет значения. Она была здоровой, сильной и храб­рой. Нельзя сказать, что она была красавицей, но на нее приятно было смотреть, и не удивительно, что инспектор Тимоти Элл но влюбился в свою лучшую ученицу. Вскоре они собирались пожениться.
В тот вечер Тнм должен был зайти аа ней в девять часов, чтобы пообедать вместе н ресторане. Уже было по­ловина девятого, и Намела разносила книги по полкам, в то время как Виолетта обслуживала оставшихся читате­лей.
Когда Памела проходила мимо окон около запасной двери, она заметила, что шторка была поднята. Она попы­талась опустить ее, но та постоянно откатывалась наверх и при этом сильно шумела. Наконец Памеле каким-то образом удалось ее закрепить внизу, и она пошла к следу­ющему проходу. К своему величайшему изумлению, она увидела там двух мужчин. «Извините, господа. — сказала она, — почитателям не разрешается находится в этой час­ти библиотеки*. * Извините, мисс, —сказал тот, кто был меньше ростом и с уродливым лицом и удивлен не мень­ше, чем Памела, — мы этого не знали». Другой мужчина, гораздо крупнее перпого, стоял спиной к Памеле, при­слонившись к полкам. Первый сказал: »Боюсь, что мой друг чувствует себя довольно плохо. Ему нужно немного свежего воздуха. Не могли бы вы помочь мне вывести его на улицу, мисс?» «Сочувствую», — сказала Памела и обхватила рукой увальня, который был очень тлн*олым. Тот мужчина, который был поменьше, взял своего друга за другую руку, и все трое двинулись к запасной двери. Вдруг Памела в ужасе остановилась. Она заметила кровь на пиджаке мужчины. Посмотрев на него пристальнее, она увидела, что тот мертв. Она моментально все поняла. «Вы… убили его… здесь, в нашей библиотеке!* — «Разве ты не отчаянно привлекательная дамочка? — сердито прошипел коротыш, — Давай, помогай мне и не привлекая внимание, в та с тобой будет та же. что и о Блоки». Памела притихла. Они были уже перед окном, когда внезапно Памелу усоммнило. Тот новый прием, которому научил се Том, может быть, оп сработает? Она не должна упустить этот шанс. Убийца был очень опасен, н еще один труп, которым вполне могла стать она, не лишит его сна. Ох, если бы только прием сработал!
Ее рука коснулась око и ной шторки, та с громким ту мом полетела вверх. Мужчина, сильно удивившись этому, уронил руку Блэки, н Памела отпустила другую руку. Тя­желое тело упало на пол. Убийца выхватил нож и бросился на Памелу, котораи была готова к его на пален икр.
Когда из библиотеки испуганные люди прибежали к запасному выходу, они упидели двух лежащих на полу мужчин и побледневшую Памелу над потерявшим созна­ние убийцей…
