The Fatal Foursome — Frank Kane

The pretty-boy movie star.
The fat producer.
The buxom blackmailer.
The grubby undertaker.
These four people never would have associated with one another runder ordinary circumstances. But they were drawn together in a shady swindle that promised to net a handsome profit.
It was a neat little deal and everything worked out exactly as planned -- until private eye Johnny Liddell showed up on the scene.
That was the day the movie star was murdered. He made a pretty corpse. The first of four.
It started out as a dog of a case-with Johnny Liddell keeping tabs on a drunken movie star for a fat producer.But it picked up interest when the actor was found dead in a phony auto accident. Then, two blondes and one brunette later (as Liddell figured time), somebody put a bullet through the producer's fat skull.A killer seemed bent on giving the morgue a little extra business. Three more customers, to be exact, and one of them was named Johnny Liddell.
