description: JAN AND JEFF, by Cyril Ott, is a compound murder mystery.Three murders have been committed in the small city of La Crosse, Wisconsin. All three victims are young women aged nineteen to twenty-two, dead by strangulation. Each was alone in her own home when the murder was committed, but the women lived in different areas and were not acquitted. There were three Ted Bendelson, a CPA who moonlighted as choir director; Jeff Andrews, a postgraduate college student, and Edgar Thomas, a housepainter. Were all three crimes committed by only one of the three men -- two of whom have already been imprisoned by court order--or is there more than just a single killer? Sam Sills, Chief of Detectives, is keeping his options open as he struggles, with the help of a college student named Jan Coburn, to find a common denominator in this twisted charade. When Sam Sills comes up with the solution, he inadvertently opens a Pandor's box which leads to a meeting between eight people in his home. The information exchanged at that time will alter forever the lives of each of the eight people present.
