The Big Midget Murders

Jay Otto, better known as the Big Midget, is the star of the show at Jake Justus's new nightclub until the night Otto is found dead in his dressing room, strangled by someone who used eleven silk stockings for a noose. Jake, his wife Helene, and their lawyer friend John J. Malone discover Otto's body and decide to temporarily conceal his corpse in a bass fiddle case, hoping to avoid any adverse publicity for their nightclub. When they return to remove Otto's body, it has mysteriously disappeared, only to resurface several hours later in the midget's own bed with the empty fiddle case parked outside the door to the Justus's apartment. Operating on very little sleep, but plenty of alcohol, caffeine and tobacco, Jake, Helene and Malone use their best amateur detective skills to determine who murdered Jay Otto and two additional murder victims whose deaths also feature silk stockings.
