Other nights he devoted to Janie Allen, to whom he proposed at least once every twenty-four hours.But a white paper containing a message in mysterious code was thrust into his hand and suddenly he was being pushed around. Johnny Angel decided to stand up for his own rights. Moreover, he decided to find out just what was going on if he had to buck the whole New York City police department. Before long that was just what Johnny Angel, scuttling through Greenwich Village back streets, was doing, for he had been neatly, beautifully and convincingly framed on a murder charge "Johnny on the Spot" is a fast, up-to-the-minute mystery, written with excitement and authority.This vintage mystery reprint includes bibliographic introduction by mystery fiction historian Curtis Evans (thepassingtramp.blogspot.com).
