Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. The first novel is by one of the masters of hardboiled mystery fiction, Day Keene’s “Dead in Bed.” Have love will bleed! It was one of those mornings. After spending the entire night chasing a Jamaican giant, a retired British colonel and two blonde nymphos, Johnny Aloha had barely gotten to bed—alone—when Tom Hanson from Homicide called. “Who were the muggers who slugged and robbed you?” Aloha told him he didn’t know. “Why do they want to kill you?” He passed that one up, too.
