Description

"The Murder Market"
by Tony Williamson

A businessman meets a woman for a blind date and she immediately shoots him.

He's not the only one though, and the Avengers are called in to investigate a spate of similar deaths that seem linked to an introduction agency.

The plot's a bit like" "Strangers on a Train" - the agency facilitates the murder of inconvenient relatives for its members, while providing alibis for them by making sure they're seen elsewhere at the time of death, the attractive Barbara Wakefield being their chief assassin.

The Avengers fake Emma's death at Steed's hand, then defeat the members of the agency in their offices. Steed and Mrs Peel depart in a hearse.
