About This Book

Why would a dead bum have manicured fingernails and wear handmade shoes?

ACCIDENT OF MURDER?

When wealthy Desmond Billmeyer was found dead in an auto wreck, dressed in a shabby and very cheap suit, the D.A. began to wonder. Who would benefit from such an "accident"?

HIS BEAUTIFUL SECRETARY? Billmeyer was Carmen's boss, which was most peculiar because he and her in-laws had been feuding over a million-dollar hunk of real estate.

HIS GREEDY BROTHER? Pervis would come in for a bundle of oil wells if Billmeyer was proved accidentally dead. Pervis looked like a guy who'd be good at arranging accidents.

HIS MYSTERIOUS WIDOW? Did she know that Billmeyer was a ex-convict? Did she really believe he was a victim of amnesia? She looked dumb, but the D.A. had met that type before!

And these were just a few of the puzzles Doug Selby came up against in one of his most baffling cases--puzzles whose answers the D.A. had to know.
