El asesino busca esposa
Catalog Note "The Murderer Looks for a Wife" by Vic Peterson (1953), translated from English, follows Kent Chandler, a lean, trained fighter and operative navigating New York City. After sparring with a Swedish self-defense instructor named Stigg, Chandler encounters Clark Murphy, a detective investigating Rudolf Stromberg, a dangerous man who has threatened Chandler's life. Murphy pressures Chandler for information about Stromberg's whereabouts, which Chandler claims to ignore, though he carries a concealed Belgian six-shooter and brass knuckles for protection. Heading toward a suspicious evening rendezvous at Mount Morris Park allegedly arranged by a woman named Helen Sutton, Chandler witnesses a drive-by shooting targeting an unknown blonde woman. He saves her by pushing her to the ground as gunfire erupts, then flees with her toward the East River as police arrive. The woman insists someone was trying to kill her and that Chandler's intervention prevented her assassination, suggesting a larger conspiracy involving Stromberg.
