And she didn’t like it. For one instant the appealing little woman looked for all the world like the household variety of virago who’s sweet as all get out as long as guests are present and ready to snatch the family bald-headed as soon as the door is closed.”

One Final Bonus – Leslie Ford Quote
“Captain Crawford didn’t like the idea of any kind of murder, but he went at it patiently and honestly and with none of the stupidity and bombast and rubber-hose techniques that Los Angeles crime fiction writers had led me to expect. I’d gotten the impression that unless a gifted amateur in love with the lady got himself almost beaten to a pulp and practically inside the lethal gas chamber before he unmasked the venal and brutalized constabulary, any innocent bystander they could get their hands on was a gone duck.”
