Live Bait for Murder, by William Herber (Bantam, 1957). This is the second novel Herber wrote about a tough Chicago private eye named James Rehm, described by Michael T. Nietzel and Robert Baker, in their book Private Eyes, 101 Knights: A Survey of American Detective Fiction, 1922-1984, as “a memorable and likeable character who inspires the antipathy of the police because he is so efficient.” Rehm debuted in 1955’s King-Sized Murder (aka Some Die Slow); a year later he returned in the hardcover edition of Live Bait for Murder.
