I thought from the title that Raoul Whitfield's DEATH IN A BOWL (1930) was set in a football coliseum. Instead, it turns out a murder is committed in the Hollywood Bowl during an outdoor concert. Interesting plot and good characters in this novel made it a fun read for me.

On page 131 (paperback ed., 1970), a dialogue snippet:

Bracker said: "You're hard-boiled, Jardinn."

The reference was interesting to me.
