ROGER TORREY
 
 

42 DAYS FOR MURDER

Here is a smashing, red-blooded mystery yarn, packed with fast action. This is crime as the police in "open" towns know it; hard-boiled detectives and as tough a collection of criminals as can be found in any metropolitan line-up.
Torrey sets a speedy pace and the book tears to a climax you won't forget. 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 the hardest-hitting, lustiest mystery novel since Dashiell Hammett.

THE SUICIDE MURDER

FOUR BY TORREY

THE SUICIDE MURDER—Murder for insurance is common enough, but this was much more than that. There were angles so intriguing and baffling that the detective almost overlooked the particular hazards involved!

M STANDS FOR MURDER—Playing watch dog in a warehouse is war stuff these days, and war stuff in a warehouse spells danger—both for the detective and for the enemy.

GUN TRAP FOR A MONEY-KILLER—Sometimes a money-killer will take a job without pay!

MURDER BY ACCIDENT—Any brother who acts like Peter must be in trouble. At least the girl is sure of it.
