The Cornstarch Killer

Police are baffled by a series of murders—all the victims are men who made a practice of leering at women. The manager of a bus depot, a drunken professor who once was a heavyweight wrestler, and the policeman assigned to solve the murders of the first two all had a reputation of making lewd remarks to women and were found stabbed in the back, with a smudge of cornstarch just above the chin.
