Red Gardenias (A Bill Crane Mystery 461) (Some Dames are Deadly)
Jonathan Latimer
Private eye Bill Crane is back, in his fifth and final case, working and drinking as usual with his old sidekick, Doc Williams, and anew member of the gang, Ann Fortune, who is posing as his girlfriend - and disapproves of his carousing.
The trio has been sent to a Chicago suburb to investigate a murder and death threats made to the
family of an industrial magnate. Alternately impeded and abetted by the many attractive women of the family, Crane cracks the case in his own inimitable way, following a trail of clues including the perfume of gardenias, the lipstick marks on the dead man's face and the crimson cat.Born in Chicago, Illinois,Jonathan Wyatt Latimer(1906-1983) attended school in Arizona and college in Illinois. He was a reporter at the Chicago Herald Examiner and, later, the Chicago Tribune, where he wrote crime and met Al Capone and Bugs Moran. He beganwriting fiction in the mid-1930s, and his early novels were hardboiled screwball comedies - among the first of their kind - which follow the exploits of hard-drinking yet surprisingly successful private eye, Bill Crane. Later he turned to an altogether darker style, to such an extent that his masterpiece, Solomon's Vineyard, was suppressed for years in the United States and only published in unexpurgated form in the early 1980s. Latimer served in the United States Navy during World War Two, after which he moved to California and worked as a Hollywoods creenwriter on shows such as Perry Mason and Columbo. He died of lung cancer in La Jolla, California
