Everybody is too, too civilized In
this one, but that doesn't stop one
sudden death after another. The
first to die is Sally Haven, rich
beautiful vicious wife of Martin Ha-
ven. Three. or perhaps four. persons
wanted Sally out of the way. There
Is Martin himself, who may be In
love with Peter Duluth's wife Iris
And there's Iris, who is certainly In
love with Martin. Then there's
Martins sister, Marietta. whose
worship of Martin is obviously an
unhealthy thing. Perhaps the oblig-
ing Jake Is fourth.
Jake conveniently messes up al!
the clues that otherwise might have
led the Mexican police to suspect
that Sallys fall was neither accident
nor suicide. Peter is the first tt

Mr.. Goode. who has served time
on several Washington papers, is
revenged here for all the oratory he

t3l police underlings.
It all begins when Senator Smudee

his bed. Stoney Hawk, once a hot
reporter, gets the tip. Following
the threads Of intrigue away from

papers society editor may be en-
gaging In spot of blackmaI and
Lady Chartreuse may know more
than she's telling. Also involved in
the proceedings are tired viscount,

Senator's Southern cousin in-law
and sundry others whom Mr..

Joel Saber was a Scotland Yard In
spector'who tried In vain to solve the
murder of Gertrude Balaguer. Now
the chauffeur Of Gertrude's twin
sister wants him to get involved in

Now private detective. Joel sends
his partner, Ritzy Tyler, into Clara's
home as butler Without being able
