Dell: Johnny on the Spot

A war time defense plant mechanic, and committed union officer, is framed for murder and must fight for the truth (and his life). Additional First published in 1943. Review “Greenwich Village and some of its odder personalities and habits get vivid treatment in this bright and refreshing mystery story. Johnny Angel, war plant worker, is neatly framed for a murder, but he does some marvelous sidestepping and has some keen tilts with police and thugs. Meanwhile, his romance with Janie Allen adds seasoning to the entertainment.” (Chicago Tribune , 1943)
