arts of this thrilling double novel. From the outside the Hideaway Club was exactly like one would expect: a sleazy joint full of crooks, criminals, and con artists. The neon lights and cheap décor tried to hide its seedy underbelly, but everyone in town knew that the people shuffling in and out were on the wrong side of the law. But Frank Blair had a thing about the Hideaway Club’s sultry songbird Helen Humphries; in fact, he was crazy about her. He begged her to leave the club and marry him, but instead of saying yes and riding off into the sunset, Helen dragged Frank into a racketeering scheme and eventually…murder! Frank got himself pulled in so deep not even his own brother, Detective Al Blair, wanted to save him. Could Frank come to his senses and find his way out of a monumental jam? Or would the police catch up to him faster than he could call for help? Dwight V. Swain is back again for the second novel, “Murder for Madame.” When a married man still makes passes at the ladies, any trouble that develops should be both expected and deserved. The truth of the matter is that most men are damned fools where good-looking women are concerned and Tom Brent was no exception. While some men are a bit more sly about it, ninety per cent of them are suckers for a curvy, buxom, good looking dame. And when it came to that kind of woman, Dora Miller was the quintessential example. Brent loved his wife Helene deeply, but there were even limits to his will power. Dora Miller had a sultry face and gorgeous gams; she was stacked and her hips had more contour than a Bob Feller curveball. Unfortunately for Tom Brent, the lure of a bombshell like Dora Miller would lead him down a trail to something far worse than just a minor case of infidelity. With Dora Miller, trail’s end meant a rendezvous with the big capital M…Murder.
