The Frightened Fingers
One Dead Blonde, One Dead Brunette...and One Very Lively Redhead
Don Cadee, as head of security for a large New York department store in the 1950s, is always on the look-out for pick-pockets, thieves and swindlers...but now, as he investigates the deaths of two women, he has to take on a gang of ruthless killers.
"Fast-paced and fascinating. In the midst of the breathless, and sometimes slightly wild, action you'll be absorbed by the intricacies of a store detedrtive's job." New York Times
"Exceptionally good...it has a novel new detective character and a fresh plot." Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph
"Spencer Dean" was one of many pseudonyms of Prentice Winchell (1895-1976), a prolific writer of radio dramas, short stories, and crime novels about unusual detectives (a hotel detective, the harbor police, a fire marshal etc.). He borrowed Dean's name from the manhunting hero of Crime Club, a radio series he wrote for in the 1930s and 40s.
