Mike Shayne Marked for Murder Mystery Paperback Book by Brett Halliday 1959

(Mike Shayne #12) Mike Shayne, a red-headed hard-boiled private detective, in Miami, Florida Davis Dresser [1904-1977] created the pseudonym Brett Halliday and the series character Michael Shayne. After 1958, beginning with Fit to Kill, Brett Halliday was a house name used by several authors. Most were written by Robert Terrall, with some written by Ryerson Johnson and Dennis Lynds.

EACH VICTIM
had last been seen in noisy celebration with an unknown blonde,
following a profitable spree at one of Miami's gambling clubs.

EACH BODY
had been found on a deserted road the next morning - with a thirty-two slug through the heart,
with blonde and money both noticeably absent.

It was a clever little scheme and it worked perfectly three times.

But the fourth man marked for murder was Michael Shayne's best friend
