The only good secretary

Jean Potts
"The Compleat Angler was a going magazine and also a small world of its own, presided over by an editor named Dudgeon, a man of boundless, disorganized energy. There was no problem he could not beat his way through--until his secretary was found stabbed to death one morning, on the parapet outside her New York window. And even then Dudgeon applied himself with his usual chaotic force. She had been, after all, the only good secretary he'd ever had. She had also been a handsome girl and a cool one, who knew how to handle men"--Dust jacket
