  1. Headed for a Hearse is a murder mystery by Jonathan Latimer, the second in the series to feature Detective Bill Crane. It was first published by Doubleday Doran as part of the Crime Club in 1935. In 1937 it served as the basis for the film, The Westland Case.

  2. Headed for a Hearse is a race against time for a death row inmate scheduled for execution, a locked-room mystery (and a pretty good one), and a hard-boiled (certainly hard drinking) detective story. The detective is the alcoholic Bill Crane -- this is the second (of five) in the series and maybe it would've helped to read the first.
