Frank Matisse had specialized in stealing from hotel rooms but was trying hard to go straight. He meets Dick Nichols in New Orleans and discovers that he was raising money for the Contras, although his daughter, Lucy, doesn't want the money to arrive in Nicaragua. From the author of "Glitz".

BEAGLE SCENTED MURDER introduces two of the most upright and fearless heels ever to run a detective agency, Otis Beagle and Joe Peel. These two new Gruber characters are not above “making” a little business, especially when times are slow, but they are not in the market for murder.

Murder lands in their laps, however, and for a time they are forced to do a little honest work. In the course of avoiding San Quentin they uncover same interesting material about one of their clients and learn a lot about a racket in dime novels. They wind up with a bang, but, much to the grief of the local police, on their feet.

Frank Gruber has written a fast, tough, and funny mystery story in the Fletcher and Cragg tradition. We expect to hear more of Messrs. Beagle and Peel.
