Murder Over Dorval

A hard-boiled detective mystery originally published in 1952, this novel follows the adventures and investigations of hard-drinking, seasoned private detective Russell Teed through the streets of Montreal and New York City. When a gorgeous redhead with lovely green eyes offers a wad of cash and a plane ticket to Montreal to help in an investigation, Russell takes the case. It isn't long, however, before a run in with a razor blade, a slug in his shoulder, and the knowledge that three tough customers gunning for him all make Russell rue his decision. This fast-paced plot from a master of pulp fiction makes for an ideal read for mystery fans.
