All Over But the Shooting — Richard Powell

Fifteen minutes after Arab Blake joined her husband Andy in Washington, she managed to get him conked into insensibility. And the moment he rose from the sidewalk he found himself entangled in a spine-tingling spyhunt!

The trail led to the strange house on Q Street from which War Department workers vanished into thin air. It took Andy to a barricaded cellar from which he escaped by pretending to be a corpse.

And it brought him finally to a secret radio sending station on a deserted strip of New Jersey coast, where anything could happen -- and plenty did!

As usual, the lid is off whenever lovely Arab Blake is on the loose. And in All Over But the Shooting -- a riotous mystery novel if ever there was one -- Arab actually surpasses her past achievements!
