The Bee Sting Murder? — Bill Hausman

Johnny Knight, all-night disc jockey at radio station WGRO-FM, dies in the middle of his shift. The autopsy reveals he was poisoned. Could he have died from a poisoned bee sting? Detective Captain Charles Crawford calls upon private investigator Magro Heff and his comely assistant, Kneesa Thighson, to help solve the murder. Their investigation includes questioning Johnny's wife, Mary; his engineer, Miguel Madison, better known as Wires; Valda, a stripper with whom Johnny was involved; Jeannie Osborne, who is seeking a divorce from her husband, Peter; Patricia Ludwell, lab technician charged with determining which poison killed Johnny; and Stinky, a sleazy photographer whose mission in life is to catch people in compromising positions and sell the pictures to the tabloids. Through a confluence of clues, Magro and Kneesa are finally able to fit the pieces of the puzzle together and come up with the answer.
