I have been listening to Michael Shayne on the old time radio mysteries, so thought I'd read one to see what the books were like as opposed to the radio. Shayne is the old-time hard-boiled private eye running his own game. An interesting case including a casino owner out to get him, the semi-standard chief of police desperate to hang a murder on him (any murder) and the newspaper writer going along for the story. Also, lots of beautiful women. A good plot with a twist I didn't quite expect.
