Raoul Whitfield (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2004

The only novel to feature Ben Jardinn, a two-fisted, hard-drinking PI with an office just a couple of blocks from Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Hardly a cat-and-goldfish story, Death in a Bowl is about a murder that takes place in the Hollywood Bowl during a concert, with a lot of action and some surprising twists at the end.

I thought from the title that Raoul Whitfield's DEATH IN A BOWL (1930) was set in a football coliseum. Instead, it turns out a murder is committed in the Hollywood Bowl during an outdoor concert. Interesting plot and good characters in this novel made it a fun read for me.
