Seller's Description:
Fine. Trade Paperback 1st prtg. A fine unread copy of this trade paperback (originally published in 1942). The apartment in Greenwich Village was perfect. If you didn't count the body in the garden. Haila Troy just loved the garden level apartment in the old Greenwich Village brownstone. Husband Jeff thought the place was oddly familiar but he couldn't quite recall why. It turned out it was the old speakeasy where he'd spent many a happy hour of his wayward youth. Then Haila overheard a sinister figure in a neighboring bar arrange a rendezvous in their apartment for that very night. The next morning the cops pulled her out of bed and showed her the naked body of a dead man in her garden. What's more, it looked very much as if he'd been drowned-in Jeff and Haila's bathtub. Just about every tenant in the brownstone looked guilty. It also looked like the murderer was thinking of making either Jeff or Haila the next victim. The killer appeared to be unaware that the Troys had already made quite a name for themselves around New York City as amateur gumshoes. This light-hearted, fast-paced mystery was first published in 1942 and filmed one year later as A Night To Remember with Loretta Young and Brian Aherne as the Troys.
