Murder

ABOUT THE MURDER OF THE NIGHT CLUB LADY--Anthony Abbot--Covici, Friede ($2). Lola Carewe, beautiful blonde, was frightened nearly out of her wits. First her dog, then her parrot had been mysteriously killed; an anonymous note told her she was next. Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt gave her the protection she asked, but it did not save her. With her apartment guarded, every entrance watched, with Colt himself in the next room, Murderee Carewe's death-scream came on schedule. Before Colt could unravel the tangled clues, two more victims died horribly. Writing detective stories is a sideline for Author "Anthony Abbot." According to Publishers Covici & Friede he is "a well-known novelist and music critic." While a newshawk he was the confidant of a real, live Manhattan Police Commissioner, learned about crime from him. Author Abbot is advertised as rising late, never eating before 7 p. m., knowing more Manhattan policemen by their first names than the Police Commissioner himself.
