    About this ebook

    #3 in the Singer Batts series, by Thomas B. Dewey.


    Thomas B. Dewey wrote four novels featuring Singer Batts, bibliophile and hotel owner. Singer prefers the company of his books and an occasional foray into the Lonely Hearts Club world. But he keeps getting embroiled in murders!



    The Boston Herald called the first book "well paced and lively," and The Saturday Review called it, "lively, lurid, and outspoken." Author Dorothy Hughes said: "It's murder and mayhem and hold onto your hats. Amusing and amazing."


    And they’re all a lot of fun.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
