Description

There was an extra body in the morgue - a body stripped of all identification and with its face badly battered. But when Inspector Martineau was called to the scene he had a pretty good idea of whose body it was. That was, however, just the beginning. There had been a big payroll robbery and Martineau suspected an out-of-town group of mobsters had had an interest in the robbery. A young policeman was sent to investigate some odd behavior in a local night spot - and wound up paying considerable attention, on and off duty, to the attractive star dancer billed as Cleo Patra. While, at a funeral parlor, the quick were a considerably more active and dangerous problem than the dead. --Amazon
