SHOOT TO KILL

Subtitled: Michael Shayne's 49th Case. He still has the Miami police force in his hip pocket, his accommodating secretary at his beck or call, and some of the dumbest luck dared at the adult level in mystery fiction. In less than 48 hours he unmasks two blackmailers, loots their bagman, fends off females and solves a murder while the police mill around misinterpreting evidence. Busy as he is, he still has time to plug an earlier book he's appeared in.
