What Really Happened(1952)

Brett Halliday

From title Everyone had a tale to tell Michael Shayne. He had too many suspects to start with, and all of them were over-anxious to link themselves with murder. Some of them had actually come running to him with their stories before the crime was committed!

The Shamus had to fill in the details himself and none of them were pretty. They dealt with secret assignations, queer sex exhibitions, blackmail--and brutal death. And the final punch-line was one of the most startling in Mike Shayne's violent career.
