Synopsis
The Gracie Allen Murder Case (1938) (also published as The Scent of Murder) is the eleventh of twelve detective novels by S. S. Van Dine featuring his famous fictional detective of the 1920s and 1930s, Philo Vance. It also features the zany half of the George Burns & Gracie Allen comedy team. It is in some ways a roman à clef, including not just Burns & Allen but also such characters as Gracie's mother and brother.
