Publisher: Doubleday

The Littles, who have a d way with death, combining the housing situation and homicide as four, among those homeless, sneak a move in on two cousins, and are joined by a fifth, unidentified man in a black goatee who is killed. Of blackmail, an insurance policy payoff, a disappearance, monkeyshines and monkeybusiness until- without benefit of the police- the killer betrays himself. Not for stricter, or soberer tastes, this is however gay.
