Summaries

A mystery writer accused of murdering his publisher sets out to discover the real killer.

A down-and-nearly-out writer makes a drunken visit to the office of his publisher, who turns up dead shortly afterward, and the writer is unable to prove his innocence. But with the aid of the publisher's secretary, and a fellow-writer -- maybe or maybe not -- he finds the guilty person.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
