Mass Market Paperback
(Lippincott, March 15, 1968)
There is a paperback Corpse in the Poolroom that has been taken, there's a real one to replace it. Red carnations appear on a grave marked XYZ and it is very strange that an unknown woman peering through the windows of a nearby house?
Who puts the red carnations on the grave of the unknown person? And what on earth would the kids write about when the teacher asked them to tell about an adventure? Nothing ever happens in this dull old town -- or does it?
