Johnny Liddell, the fast-moving New York private eye, is hired to investigate a murder which everyone but the client calls a suicide. The client, a beautiful heiress, unfortunately fails to appear at a rendezvous to explain matters; instead a very active tommy-gun enlivens the proceedings. Score: one gunman killed, Liddell unscathed. The gangsters turn out to be members of a syndicate run from Sing Sing, but their connection with the girl is not clear. And she, by this time, has vanished completely, leaving the detective with nothing but a $500 retainer. With his usual keenness Johnny moves from this lively beginning on a violent trail of fights and point-blank killings from Park Avenue to Broadway, leading to a very unexpected climax. - Summary from inside front flap of book (4 hr 23 min)

Never heard of this hard boiled writer Frank Kane before! He is funny and excellent anyhow and Ben Tucker conveyed all the unsavory thugs and made the women sound like a series of seductive ninnies— just right.
well read - peaceful

I can't say much about the story since I keep sleeping right thru it.
