Description

A novelette by Sidney St. James.

A murder case from the late 1930s takes the entire area south of Oklahoma to the Gulf of Mexico the peoples' attention as a veteran police officer of more than thirty years from Dallas, and a well-known socialite from Fort Worth are murdered on the same night. In both cases, the murder was brutal and not just a killing with a bullet or two. It almost will remind you the day Bonnie and Clyde met their fate.

The jurisdiction of the case brings in the Chief of Police in Dallas, Quintin Randle and the Fort Worth Police Department's Chief Sammy Rogers on a case that has both the offices' detectives hot on the case.

The investigation got exciting and crossed the boundaries where dignitaries from all over the country were arriving near Plano to watch the landing of a Superfortress B29. The case becomes somewhat sticky with the two detectives stepping on each others' toes, but no matter, they learned to get along and attempt to solve this terrible murder.

But do they solve it completely? Murder Will Out!

Hitler's name disappeared on the front page for days. His presence was replaced by the murdered socialite, Sonja Bridges Adler and the thirty-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department, Lamar Hampton.

A novelette by Sidney St. James. Book 4 in the Gideon Detective Series.
