THE LADY IN THE MORGUE - Jonathan Latimer

 
 
 
 
From 1936 the tale of a body being stolen from a mortuary. The alcoholic Private Investigator along with his equally sodden side kicks raid parties and graveyards alike to locate the body and solve several concomitant homocides.

Its very funny and I would have thought reasonably risque for its time.

It ends with all the crimes being solved and a happy ending in that our hero gets to go off to another party. Not up to'The Thin Man' in quality but not too far away, good fun.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
