Inspector Schmidt #47
Country and Fatal
George Bagby more often comes to murder only by tagging along at the heels of his friend Chief of Homicide, Inspector Schmidt. This time murder comes to George Bagby. Only by luck he survives the initial attempts, but the inspector has to take a hand to save George before time runs out. It isn't paranoia. There's an effort afoot to make Bagby a ghost, and not all of it can be laid at the door of George's literary agent.
There's Shadrach McGee, Country and Western singer, and it's more than a coincidence that his initials are SM. There's Lucinda Belle, premier chanteuse of the Southern Belles. There's cold-bread poisoning and menace in the oven. There's murder by rifle fire and murder by hunting knife. Although it is a bizarre trail he must follow, Inspector Schmidt finds the unexpected direction that takes him to the all-too-versatile killer.
Country and Fatal is a gripping novel of intrigue and murder set against the backdrop of New York City and the country music scene. An ingenious puzzle by an old Crime Club Master.
