Bradley: Nice People Murder
Bradley: Nice People Murder
There was good reason for lawyer Stanley Hazlitt to get another legal expert to draw a new will for his brother T. D. Hazlitt, wealthy steel magnate. T. D. had discovered that his wife was in love with another man, and he had determined to replace the old will. Brother Stanley expected to be chief beneficiary. So Jeff Ryder, astute young attorney, and his friend Capt. Cal Kent, just back from Korea, were summoned to Hazlitt’s summer home, a great house dramatically built on a rocky promontory on the Maine coast. Everybody seemed to know that T. D. was making a new will although it was supposed to be a profound secret. Before the will is signed T. D. is murdered and suspicion fastens on his wife—whom Cal Kent had known when they were much younger—and on the man she loves. Jeff and Cal must follow their own leads through motives and accusations in order to bring the killer to justice.
