About Murder In Manhattan by C.G. Harris
“Murder creeps up on you like a fox…” So says Aaron Baum, P.I. in ‘A Wrong Time to Die’.
Manhattan. Four forty-four on Christmas Day, 1949. A beautiful woman is murdered. It’s a hell of a time to die; is there ever a good one? Having asked for his help Baum now feels compelled to find her killer. The mob aren’t keen that he should…
The above is one of six atmospheric cases for a private investigator who prefers the quiet life tailing adulterous spouses. But the corpses just seem to fall right in his path.
The One-Ahead Murders
The Lady in the Room
A Wrong Time to Die
A Business of Chance
Suspicion in Seattle
The Man who knew too Little
Tough and cynical, but nobler than he thinks, Baum stands tall against the mobsters and menace on the streets of New York. The city with a smile on its lips and a bellyful of lies.
