THE BUTLER DIED IN BROOKLYN Shepard had been a loyal family butler, but when Marianne finds him that evening, he is a very dead butler. Someone had staged his exit as a suicide. However, police detective Gridley Nelson realizes that this is a case of murder. A murder with too many suspects. There are the twins, Hale and Clement, Marianne's brothers; their Grandmother, Beulah, the matriarch of the family, currently married to hapless husband number four, Leonard Roberts; Marianne's boyfriend, Dwight, who has just come into a tidy bit of cash; Cromwell Proctor, who Beulah would prefer to be Marianne's boyfriend; and Beulah's guest, Dr. Silk, a prominent dentist with a sideline in astrology. An interesting group... but which one of them could possibly want to kill the kindly old butler? MURDER RUNS A FEVER It's wartime in the U.S. and Kyrie Martens has gone undercover for the FBI. But her cover is blown so she decides to stay with her cousin Louise Cotter. Louise is anxiously awaiting the return of her husband Charles on leave from the army. The night that he returns he falls sick, and that same night Louise's unwanted guest, Captain Shay, is found murdered in their apartment. And then Kyrie goes missing. Detective Sergeant Gridley Nelson is old friends with Louise and Kyrie, and even though they seem logical suspects in the death of Shay, he is convinced otherwise. Still, there is something here that doesn't add up here. What is this mysterious sickness that has struck down Charles? How is his loyal cook Sammy involved? And what has happened to Kyrie Martens?
