Bart Hardin trails a mad butcher -- a killer who hates the pretty girls of the Great White Way!

With this taut and chilling tale, David Alexander, author of "Murder Points a Finger," introduces Bart Hardin, sardonic, Broadway-wise editor of "The Broadway Times," a racing and sports newspaper . . . Hardin of the fancy vests, with the rococo apartment over a flea circus, with a handout for every stumblebum around the Garden, with an impact on dames and an affinity for violence.

Hardin is the newest light on Broadway, and in detective fiction. "Terror on Broadway" is the first in another of a great new mystery series.
