StoryErle Stanley Gardner's short
story
Larry Benton, a born troublemaker, is
in a real jam this time. When he knocks a man cold
arguing over a poker hand, his "friends" inform
him the guy is dead. Larry doesn't realize the thugs are
lying. They, in turn, put the finger on him for big bucks
in hush money. Broke as usual, Larry forges his brother's
check for $5000. Big man Johnny Clay tries to bleed Larry
for another twenty Gs but gets himself iced instead.
When Larry's brother Steve tries to
cover up Larry's involvement, he ends up with a murder
charge. Steve gets smart and hires Perry, whose first
task is to track down Mike Granger, the man Larry
supposedly killed.
