Résumé
"In this mystery centering around a murder victim dressed as a homeless man and a missing Stradivarius, the [characters] are all well rounded... The setting of the mystery is a New York television studio, when television was still in its infancy and Kelland takes the time to describe how television works. His attention to detail created a believable and interesting world for the mystery to unfold.
My favorite character has to be the feisty Grandmother... Refreshing. 5 Stars." -GoodreadsThe Key Man "concerns a television variety show whose members are menaced by a gang of crooks. Kelland does a very good job with his description of early live TV. The young director of the show serves as an amateur detective, with the show's comedienne serving as his detective partner and love interest. It has the feel of a 1940's or 50's mystery story.
" -Mike Grost, A Guide to Classic Mystery and Detection "Video background nicely sketched, characters, including cops, competently drawn. Smooth." -Criminal RecordIn one of the first crime novels ever set behind the scenes of big-time television, Clarence Budington Kelland has plotted a thrilling adventure of danger and death which climaxes in a series of fast-moving surprises. Peter Mortain, one of the youngest directors in this very young medium, was beleaguered enough, directing the first episode of the most expensive variety show ever produced.
He had a cast whose first appearance on television made them skittish, a thousand technical details to handle, and a star.who was also his boss! The blonde soprano was smooth, sultry. She was also mysteriously hired at the last minute and was taking the best songs and skits away from the other cast members and claiming them as her own-and the producer refused to stop her. From the first moment she joined the Tod Arundel Show, at least one member of the cast suspected her presence meant big-time trouble.
That suspicion became a certainty when a corpse called on the young director. Peter directed the next rehearsal of his coast-to-coast television revue, knowing that somehow the glamorous soprano had picked up some nasty acquaintances. He worried that his back was the target for the next knife. Peter found out too fast why the sensational blonde was hired, and why their boss was paying her particular attention .
