THE CORPSE STEPS OUT

By

Pub Date: March 12th, 1940
Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Plenty of drinking, wise cracking, radio technicalities, loose-ish morals and body snatching for a triple killing in Chicago. Malone and Justus of 8 Faces at Three try to keep scandal out of a radio star's life by obliterating her implication in the murders. Snappily paced, racy yarn but not Grade A problem in sleuthing.
