This Is Murder Mystery Paperback Book by Erle Stanley Gardner Pocket Books 1950
"LOOK OUT!" SHE SCREAMED.
"HE HAS A GUN."
Sam Moraine covered space in swift strides.
His left hand caught Hartwell by his necktie.
Hartwell stared into Moraine's eyes, saw Moraine's bunched knuckles.
"I'm not shooting," he said.
"What do you want?" said Moraine.
"I want to know about my wife!"
Accused by Ann Hartwell's husband of being her lover, Sam Moraine laughed it off.
Accused by police of killing Peter Dixon and clubbing Ann to death, he no longer thought it funny.
He knew someone had picked him for a sucker because of one little detail.
