The setting is a large department store plagued by missing products and, more seriously, four murders in a single day’s time. From the dustjacket: Meet Miss Ethel Thomas! – the shrewdest spinster-sleuth that ever walked the pages of a mystery story. You’ve seldom encountered as lively a lady of her years (age 75), and it’s a treat to be taken along with her through the solution of what the newspapers called “The Bargain Day Murders.” Cortland Fitzsimmons (1893-1949) wrote mysteries, often featuring a sports-theme, some of which were made into movies. He also worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood.
