In a Deadly Vein # aka Murder Wears a Mummer's Mask
Brett Halliday"Nora was a real gold-plated dish--with expensive tastes, costly love affairs and a daddy with a gold mine as big as the Ritz. Her eyes met Shayne's without faltering, but her lips trembled. She was a poor little rich girl in trouble. Everything she touched turned to gold--but everywhere she went there was murder!"
The front page tease gives a good example of what's in store:
I'm on vacation when I meet this gorgeous trick with a head of golden hair that's worth half of Fort Knox. Her old man has found a mine worth the other half. Putting them together she stacks up as a lucky girl. Then she disappears. With her looks, and her old man's loot, I figure she's a diamond-studded candidate for the morgue. That makes her my dish. After all, murder and blondes are my business.
