This case looked refreshing at first.

It took me to Milwaukee, the brewing capital of the USA.

But it occurred to me later, for a guy who appreciates a good head on a glass of beer,

I take lousy care of my own.

This is another in the Adventures of America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator Johnny Dollar starring Charles Russell.

At insurance investigation, Johnny Dollar is only an expert.

At making out his expense account, he's an absolute genius.

No. expense account, he's an absolute genius. Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar.

Till, home office, Ambassador Life and Casualty Insurance Company,

Hartford, Connecticut. Attention, Franklin Haley, General Manager. The following is an accounting

of my expenditures during my assignment as bodyguard to your policyholder Anne Connolly. Or,

it may have been love at first sight, but the last site was down the barrel of a 45

automatic.

Expense account? Item 1. 2.95. One copy of the case of the playful Siamese, a novel of detection

and suspense. It was a story about a private eye named Dexter Payne.

But before I could learn whether poor Dexter was dead or alive at the end of Chapter 1,

the phone rang, and there you were, Mr. Haley, telling me I'd leave from Milwaukee on the next plane.

So I returned the book to the Lending Library, bought a copy of my own,

and came to your office to find out what my assignment was all about.

Oh, oh, come in, darling. Come in, come in, come in. Thank you. How are you, Mr. Haley?

Fine, my boy, fine. Glad to see you again. Sit down, sit down. Thank you.

Ah, adding to your store of knowledge, I see. What are you reading?
