Murder on the Purple Water, by Frances Crane (Bantam, 1951). Published originally in 1947, this novel, says The Thrilling Detective Web Site, is part of Crane’s colorful and long-running series starring “dapper San Francisco gumshoe” Pat Abbott and his “not-quite-bubbleheaded little wifey,” Jean. Cover art by Denver Gillen (see more on him here, here, and here).
