Death of a Celebrity

Many guys wanted the playwright, Gavin Dordress, to die. Especially on the night of his party.

• Gail Garrett and Bea Townley openly quarreled for the main role in the play.

• Then a new and amazing hint hastened the seemingly hopeless hunt.

The next morning Gavin Dordress was found shot to death, a chessman imprinted on his forehead, and nearby a letter of farewell that sounded suspiciously like one of his stage characters speaking.
