"When a lusty Lothario sings his serenade, romance rhymes with death!"
I love these Dell Mapbacks, don't you? This is #631. And, the price can't be beat! 25 cents!
From the 1950 Kirkus Review:
City Editor Rockwell and his hard to woo and win Jane (of Do Not Murder Before Christmas) are again confronted by bodies when the Record is threatened by the new, mobminded owner of the Eagle and one of its imported gunsels killed. The murder of a radical, lecherous poet puts Rockwell hors de combat, endangers Jane and it is the Record's society editor Debbie who unmasks a jealous villain while Rockwell untangles the mobster's death. Two solutions to double-deading in a light touch, lover interest mystery.
