Death Makes a Mistake

“REGGIE VAN FIDDLER MAKES ESCAPE!” Reggie isn’t sure what he’s escaping—only that the same small, dark stranger keeps appearing wherever he runs, even after he leaves him behind.

In wartime Chicago, amid smoky bars, crowded dance floors and the bustle of the Loop, Reggie Van Fiddler is trying to enjoy his afternoon—and his drinks—when an unnervingly composed little man begins following him. Reggie suspects Axis agents; the young man beside him blames too much liquor, especially since he can’t see the pursuer at all. But the stranger is waiting in Reggie’s apartment, and insists they must talk. Reggie’s instinct is to flee; his growing panic may leave him no choice but to listen. Who is this visitor, and why has he come for Reggie?
