Death Is a Fumbler

A John Holmes Johnson Mystery

Death is a Fumbler begins with the belated honeymoon of John Holmes and Samantha Johnson. They are in New York City staying with a friend. Meanwhile, in Kansas City, the Detective Agency is involved in five separate cases, the most dangerous case revolving around the murders of several men with similar names. One victim happens to be Doctor Ron Cassiday, friend and physician of Holmes and Samantha Johnson. A second case concerns sabotage at the Overly Leather Plant. Case three causes detective St. Giles a great deal of discomfort, but unknown to him, he meets his future wife. The fourth entangles the agency in the activities of a gang of dog-nappers and a stolen seeing eye dog named Raji. And the fourth involves the murder of a young girl in a Kansas City Park and in the investigation, the detectives run head-long into a complicated mess. The good news is that new babies are born, a wedding is planned, and best of all, Samantha and Holmes are expecting their first baby.
