Murder in the Rough — Leslie Allen

When Napoleon B. Smith drove his golf ball into the rough of Hell's Half-Acre, he had not the slightest idea that he was heading into a jungle trail of murder that would tangle him with one of the most ruthless killers of his long career as a criminologist.

In this swiftly paced murder mystery you meet a detective who will certainly become one of your favorite fiction sleuths: Napoleon B. Smith, mastodon of a man, grim and ruthless as any killer, a private investigator who learned about crime the hard way on a police beat. And you'll chuckle over the wisecracks and love affairs of his writing side-kick, Leslie Allen.

Murder in the Rough was first published in 1946.
