42 Days for Murder - Softcover

Shean Connell, a private detective, sets out to clear up a divorce case in Reno, and finds that he has been framed by the man who is boss of the town's criminals. After he views the woman in the morgue and has the tip of his ear shot away, he realizes that murder and not divorce is being plotted. Why wouldn't Tod Wendel's wife speak to him? Between the wealthy society woman and her husband stood the forces of the underworld-gangsters, white slavers, dope runners-and Shean Connell breaks the case in this hard-hitting, lusty mystery novel. Originally published in 1938.
