Cover Up - 1949 - 6/10
More mystery than Noir.
During Christmas revels, an insurance investigator hits the small town where the most hated man has killed himself.
“Where’s the gun he shot himself with?” – No idea.
‘What caliber of bullets were found?” – Bullets, what bullets?
“Were there powder buns on his hands or clothes?” – No, sir.
Smiling faces stonewall him the whole time.
Meanwhile, a fetching young miss catches his eye. So, add a dash of romance.
OTR buffs will recognize the template for Johnny Dollar.
