The Laughing Fox

The adventures of Johnny Fletcher... The book salesman sleuth and his strong-armed pal, Sam Cragg, have thrilled and amused thousands in their original Rinehart editions, their Penguin Signet reprints, and over the air on the ABC network. Frank Gruber fans know that they can expect plenty of action and a lot of laughs from this author's whodunits- plus a wealth of interesting inside information on such widely various fields as silver mining, crap shooting, dime novel collecting and silver fox farming...as well as an assortment of eye-filling blondes and red heads. In The Laughing Fox, Johnny and Sam run into murder at a Midwestern fair in which wealthy fox herders from far and wide assemble for their annual shindig and fur auction. As usual they get involved in all sorts of shenanigans, plots, counter plots and plain misunderstandings, before they finger the murderer.
