Whisper :a Manila Bay mystery

Manila Bay #2

by William Marshall

Manila police Lieutenant Felix Elizalde is up to his ears in trouble. He has to figure out who's murdering Manila's poor, while his sergeants deal with bomb threats. Felix soon discovers that the two investigations might be connected. Library Journal The strange and slightly hysterical tone at the beginning of Marshall's second Manila Bay mystery recurs often throughout a rather confusing plot. At least two main elements wrestle for police Some unknown person tries to blow up a circus of dwarfs; and, in the first of several similar instances, a poor, raving man uses a sawed-off submachine gun to kill another man and then himself. Detective Lieutenant Elizalde investigates the shootings, while Detective Sergeant Bontoc works with the "persons of diminished stature." Intriguing and unusual, but not easy to follow.
