The Double Take

A MYSTERY HOUSE REPRINT: Stuart Bailey is a private investigator, of very much the same stripe as Perry Mason of the Erle Stanley Gardner books, and, in common with Mason and others of the same fictional feather, manages to get himself so involved with criminals and garden-variety crooks that soon he becomes the subject of some rather heated investigations himself. The job he takes in "The Double Take" really leads him over the bumps. In less than a half-day, according to his own account, he is "threatened by an amateur trigger man, conned by a local lovely and pumped by an international beauty." You can gather from that that all his dealings are not sneering scarfaces and underworld uglies. Actually, maes are his dish-if only he weren't always too not on somebody's trail. Roy Huggins makes quite a guy of his hard-bitten performer, a hard-drinking, fast-talking customer with a trigger mind.
