The D.A. Goes to Trial (Doug Selby #4)

"FIND ANYTHING ON THAT HOBO'S BODY?"

District Attorney Doug Selby fired the question at Perkins.

The coroner answered, "A billfold with one of those in-case-of-accident cards. He has a brother in Phoenix. Funny thing about that. The man was a hobo but his brother seems to be some pumpkins."

The mystery of the hobo's battered corpse is deepened by a telegram from a man who wasn't there. Then a bookkeeper vanishes and a dead man's fingerprints must be where they aren't and can't be where they are. A routine case had grown into a suspense thriller, and Doug Selby found himself up to his neck in clues that look like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
