Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Death Plays Solitaire If Larry Critchfield hadn´t collided somewhere with a flu germ, I shouldn´t have been in on the ground floor of this Toliver affair. Larry is our police reporter, and covering Dan Hillyard´s electrocution was his job, not mine. Before I went to work for Asaph Glume, I did police for the morning Times; and after three years on the Express I still haven´t lived it down. I´m supposed to be a political commentator, and I do a daily column, "Round-Up" which I sign "Rufus Reed" because that´s my name. But, whenever anyone is needed to pinch-hit for Larry Critchfield, my horrible past is remembered and I get the assignment. At least I don´t have to chase the ambulances along with the lawyers, and that´s some consolation; and I have found better ways of spending my salary than shooting craps with the cubs in the press room at the police station. But Clume, owner and managing editor of the Express, and Boley, who holds down the city desk, manage to keep me hobnobbing with the District Attorney, the police, murderers, embezzlers, and other undesirable characters. For a pronounced underworld flavour I prefer my new buddies, the politicians. On this September afternoon Larry came into the city room with burnt-out eyes and a hectic brow, and Boley took one look at him and sent him home. Boley isn´t especially solicitous about the hired hands, but he is about flu germs. When I walked in a short time later, Boley called me over.
