Armchair Fiction presents large, deluxe paperback editions of classic mystery-crime novels. Heralded veteran mystery writer Milton Ozaki is in fine form with this classic thriller, “A Time for Murder.” Murder Came on a Monday. A phone call early Monday morning was hardly anything exciting for Private Detective Max Keene; but when an attractive dame on the other end offered a great deal on a case of hard-to-find cheap booze, Keene could hardly refuse. Now thirty bucks lighter and supplied with a full case of “authentic” branded bourbon, Keene thought his luck was finally coming around. Only instead of smooth bourbon he got a mouth full of rotgut for his troubles. Finding and getting even with the bad-booze chiselers who swindled him would not be easy, but Keene was determined to track them down at all costs, and soon he was delving into the familiar haunts of Chicago’s seedy underworld. Little did he know that he was headed for a head-on collision with corrupt cops, back-alley deals, kidnapping, two murders, and steamy dames who were as beautiful as they were deadly (just the way he liked ‘em).
