His main suspect is Kel Lauriston, a boomer, but Kel has other fish to fry-namely getting married to Myrene Carey. But foreman Red McAfee may have something to say about that. He's in love with her, too. Throw in a patch of catnip down by the plant fence, a pack of Chinese laundrymen, and a powerful telescope and you have a web that only Harry Stephen Keeler could unravel. Written in 1944 and published in 1946 by Phoenix Press. The British edition was called Murder in the Mills.
