Did you ever want to murder your boss? Well — of all the bosses who should have been murdered Frank Sargent’s was the most deserving. A notorious publisher, Ben O. Chapman was the villain behind many shabby deals. But it was his partner who was stabbed. Before the none-too-pure staff of Business Journals, Inc. could forget their disappointment, they were, caught in a chain of rough, tough events and bullets were whistling around Frank’s ears as he jumped to keep one step ahead of Lieutenant Fanning, the cynical detective. With commonsense deduction and fast action he proves his innocence and discovers why Ben O. Chapman survived his slightly more worthy partner. John K. Vedder is a new writer to put on the same shelf as Earle Stanley Gardner, Frank Gruber, and other masters of entertaining detective stories. THE LAST DOORBELL is superb reading, with as many laughs as chills, as much humor as tension
