Trapped

Help Wanted--For Danger
I picked up a copy of the L.A. Times and turned to "Help Wanted." It came out and slapped me in the face, a big box advertisement:

CHAUFFEUR
To drive new Rolls Royce saloon and Jaguar XK 120 coupe. Preferable French-speaking, 30 to 35. Family of four, Southern California. Own apt. An excellent position for a high-type man who can qualify. Send full details. Box C-1419.

I wrote full details and signed the letter "Nick Wood."....

Professor Nicholas Ravenswood was taking a powder. He was also answering an invitation to get mixed up in two of the juiciest murders California had ever seen....

I decided to review this, while waiting for one of my good friends to pick me up. I am going out dancing tonight to celebrate my birthday!

This book was hilarious purely for the vintage noir pulpery goodness.

I was amused from beginning to end.

This book is dirrrty too ;)
