Murder Sunny Side Up
(1968)(The first book in the Ben Safford series)
A novel by R B Dominic (Emma Lathen)
What Congressman Ben Safford knew about eggs was this: they come from poultry farms like the ones he represented in Newburg, Ohio, and you often eat them for breakfast. He had a lot to learn.
When the Subcommittee on Non-Military Assistance to Unaligned Nations decided to investigate the safety of Ova-Cote, a preservative that kept eggs fresh indefinitely, Ben was forced to attend. He thought he'd fall asleep from boredom in the committee room until a bizarre and shocking murder stopped the proceedings cold.
And that was only the first death. From the House in Washington, to the farms of Ohio, to the Library of Congress, even to the racetrack, Ben chased two killers: one chemical and the other human in name only!
