It's the summer of 1949 and Steve "Snap" Malek has been assigned by his editors to cover the Chicago Railroad Fair. For three months this sprawling and lavish event will draw visitors to the showcase on the city's beautiful Lakefront. Malek, used to getting his headlines covering the gritty Police Headquarters, sees this as the first step in being put out to pasture. Deciding that a man's got to do what a man's got to do, he accepts the assignment, grumbling all the while. However, violence has a way of finding the intrepid Snap Malek, even in this least likely of locales. Striking indiscriminately, a killer bearing a grudge against railroads in general, threatens to shut down the highly publicized and well-attended national exposition with a series of bizarre murders. Before this reign of terror ends, famed filmmaker Walt Disney enters the scene with a theory about the killer, and Malek himself, bloodied and wounded, becomes a target of the madman’s wrath.

Mr. Goldsborough is one of my favorite authors. He is well known for the "continuance" of the Nero Wolfe novels (Which are very good) and his own Snap Malek character. The stories are set in the 30s and 40s and are very "good reads". I especially appreciate the fact that he can write an entertaining novel without the graphic violence and "sleeze" that are so common with our contemporary authors and best sellers (As much a commentary on us as them I think.)So...if you consider sex, violence and obscenities necessary and spectator sports you will find these novels dull. If you like good writing and "page turners" you've got a treat in store.

Bob really lets you feel what is was like to be in the Newspaper business in the 40's and 50's. Another wonderful read.
Another winning book in the Snap Malek series... If you have never read any of these books I strongly suggest buying them in order of issue. the characters develop over time and there are a few references that go back to the older ones however they all are fantastic reads and you will be totally hooked once you read one of them.
I anxiously awaited this one and devoured it and now cant wait for Mr. Goldsborough to bring us another in the ongoing series.
Kudos for a well written, engaging mystery with well fleshed out characters. a fun trip back in history.
