Keep Your Mouth Shut

Genre	Mainstream
Type	Short story
Series	-

Probably written between 1946 and 1955, but only published after its rediscovery in Phil's archives.

DESCRIPTION:

Working in a steel mill is hard work, especially when a much hated foreman is making it even harder. The question pops up how to commit the perfect murder, without being caught.
From the introduction: "Phil Farmer worked for Keystone Steel & Wire Company from 1942 to 1952... In "Keep Your Mouth Shut" Phil certainly writes from the pit of his white-hot, fire and brimstone experience at Keystone."
