Dividend on Death by Brett Halliday

4.0

Definitely a noir book where the detective gets beaten up more than once, this story introduces Mike Shayne to readers. He is very much the prototypical Gold Age detective who lives hard but gets the case solved in the end. Such is the case when a young girl comes to him convinced that she is going to kill her mother. Her mother ends up dead and it's up to Mike Shayne to prove that the girl is innocent. The story was sort of convoluted but I did enjoy it. Classic Mysteries steered me right on this one.
