THE CASE OF THE SILKEN PETTICOAT

A striking blonde kicking a famous London drama critic; the death of a first novelist; the drama critic's attempts to locate the blonde -- these pose more than one question for Ludovic Travers. His fussy ferreting produces much relevant detail but it takes two other deaths before he can present a bill of goods to his Scotland Yard pal, Wharton. Good tempered and well mannered.
