OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FUNERAL (A Harry Horne Mystery)
"A SUCCESSION OF EXPLOSIVE AMUSEMENTS, BREATHLESS, HARASSED , HANDSOMELY DIVERTING." –New York Herald Tribune
A hot-tempered, very neglected Mafia wife... her eighteen year-old lover in a black leather jacket with switchblade... her missing "Made Man" husband who had been playing fast and loose with ... pay-offs collected for the local Capo de Capos... a dozen juvenile delinquents with ready to rumble and just as ready to harmonize when record producers dropped by... two tough-as-nails cops convinced Harry Horn was guilty of everything... and a young woman with a penchant for shedding her clothes and trying to shoot Harry... it all adds up to one of journalist/sleuth Harry Horne's craziest cases and roller-coaster entertainment for the reader.
Harry Horne was a nice guy, a good journalist writing a series on juvenile delinquency – and uncovering more dirt that he bargained for. Especially on Louis Gelormino, the big-wig Mafia rackets boss who usually dropped a hint he was displeased in the form of a .45 bullet. Vince Rinaldi was the grudge-holding head of the juvie gang featured in Harry's expose. Yet everything seemed fine on the day Harry got out of jail for refusing to name a source.
But when Harry returned to his apartment about to get lucky with a nightclub singer he had been pursuing for months, only to have a young woman step out of his shower clad in a towel, things started to go downhill quickly. The nightclub singer departed in a fury, while the young woman dropped the towel, snatched up a gun and shot Harry point-blank!
Soon everyone was on Harry Horne's tail – but "out of the frying pan into the funeral" wasn't unusual condition for him to be in.
