The Cinnamon Murder — Frances Crane

Pat and Jean Abbott run into murder among the toffs at the Waldorf where the rich gather to celebrate the end of World War II.

THE PAT ABBOTS ARE HEAD OVER HEELS IN MURDER ! AGAIN

When Jean opened her eyes groggily she nearly died…there lay her BEST John Frederics' hat squashed on the floor! Just the sight of it made her furious -- and almost pushed the deadly throbbing of her head from her thoughts. Whoever had decided to knock Pat Abbot's wife out -- had made a sorry mistake! Very bad judgment for a guy to ruin a gal's best headgear -- even worse to slug a detectives' wife! Yes, you guessed it -- Pat and Jean are back in the crime business. Not since Bantam's The Amethyst Spectacles have these two been on such a zany murder cast. A tiny child is threatened in her penthouse refuge…a luscious widow fears for her life…and a whole bevy of Park Avenue folk are up to their ears in MURDER!
