Description
Three stories for the price of one from the best-selling author of Private Detective Shell Scott.
In “Squeeze Play” Shell Scott has to find Leroy Crane, the accountant of Wallace Hackman. A Crook in capitals, with his fat fingers in everything from dope to sudden death. He was not only ruthless but stupid, and would never have got as high in the rackets as he had except for one thing: he didn't trust any man alive. He wouldn't give you the correct time if he could help it, and he didn't even trust his right-hand man, Pretty Willis, behind his back. His complicated little hierarchy was a lot like a communist club: crooks watching crooks who in turn watched other crooks, and all reporting to the top, Hackman. And now Hackman wants Leroy too! Scott and Hackman are going to do more than just bump heads.
The short and definitely not sweet story, “The Spirit of the Convention”, tells the tale of one repressed little man. Who would never hurt a fly. But that all changes with a simple changing of his tie.
Shell Scott returns in “The Best Motive”. Scott is now looking for a lunatic that out to kill a most beautiful girl. It wasn't the cheeriest subject to be discussing in a haunted night club.
