Description
Kentucky horse-racing journalist David Alexander wrote fifteen mystery novels (as well as short stories and other books) between 1951 and 1962. This volume collects his first two mysteries, which introduce hefty (and eccentric) millionaire Tommy Twotoes, penguin fancier and former bootlegger, and Terence R. Rooke, aka Soldier, fresh from a military hospital and starting out as a private investigator in the Big Apple.
Most Men Don't Kill: Working for an Army buddy who has set up a detective agency, Soldier finds himself in a pickle when his stakeout of a married woman's tryst ends with the discovery of a corpse. Lying low in the Bowery, Soldier attracts the attention of millionaire Tommy Twotoes, who decides to do some investigating of his own.
Murder in Black and White: Soldier is visiting a funeral parlor at the behest of Tommy Twotoes when a small albino man crashes the party and shoots up the corpse. This is only the beginning, as Soldier encounters more bodies, more crazy characters, and a loud-mouthed parrot.
