Fredric Brown - Screaming Mimi







Fredric Brown was much better known as author of Science Fiction novels and stories, but he also wrote crime fiction, and a good one. He was somewhat tedious man who didn't like writing at all. 

In this novel we follow journalist interested in serial killings of prostitutes. As he become fascinated by the case he turns into investigator himself. Some bizarre things happen afterwards and all in all this is well above average crime novel with lot of artistic touch.
