Suicide Scenario — Robert Leslie Bellem

Nick Ransom is a Hollywood stuntman turned private eye who carries his roscoe under his arm, and has a plastic cigarette holder with silver filigree given to him by a client. He prefers to call himself a Confidential Investigator, a title he thinks is more refined than Detective. He gets a little help from a buddy, Ole Brunvig, one mean cop from the homicide squad. Ransom's stories, which were written in the form of novelettes, appeared in "Thrilling Detective" magazine. "Scuicide Scenario" was published in the February, 1948, issue of "Thrilling Detective."
