The Gorgeous Ghoul Murder Case, by Dwight V. Babcock (Avon, 1951); cover art by Bill Randall. Published originally in 1941 as simply The Gorgeous Ghoul, this was the second of three novels starring Hannah van Doren, a Los Angeles writer for True Crime Cases magazine and a cop’s daughter, said to have “a connoisseur’s passion for murder and mayhem.” The other two van Doren mysteries were A Homicide for Hannah (1941) and Hannah Says Foul Play!
