I finished reading Day Keene's FRAMED BY GULT first published
in 1949 at William Morrow, and available as a reprint from
Stark House. The setting is Hollywood after the Second World
War. Bob Stanton is a movie script writer accused of
murdering an English lady. The twist Keene drops in is
Stanton on the fateful night was out on a rare binger, and
can't remember what he did. I liked the quippy dialogue, wry
wit, and noirish setting. Keene's prose is clean and
accessible. I was impressed enough to line up more of Keene's
work, so he easily passes the readers' litmus test.
