by Harry Carmichael ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 2, 1973
Piper and Quinn assess the wages of sin when the lovely Mrs. Davey is discovered naked and dead as a doornail, with evidence of having welcomed to bed someone other than Mr. Davey. Piper, on an insurance case, happens to be present when Davey, tea-laden, finds the body. In the crash of crockery there is perhaps a clue to the burgeoning fuss which includes a suicide, extramarital secrets and the murder of an elderly woman who had put two-and-two together with unfortunate timing. For reliable, intelligent detection Piper and Quinn are men you can lean on.
