A Case of Corpses... They piled up so fast that private-eye Johnny Liddell figured he was ahead if he found them still warm. It started when he was hired as baby-sitter to a wildcat. She was blond and beautiful, and stacked better than a deck of marked cards. And she had a cool $200,000 worth of hot diamonds. There was just one hitch. She used bourbon instead of perfume.
