There Was a little Girl by Ed McBain: Another Matthew Hope novel with a nursery rhyme title. The titles do actually fit the actual story, in this one, the little girl is the logo for a brand of beer. In this book, however, Matthew doesn't actually do much since he gets shot in the opening line. It's his friends and co-workers who try to solve the mystery of why he was shot and by whom; which involves a traveling circus, vlauable land, and a midget circus star. Oh yes, and let's not forget aforementioned little girl, who's now grown up. Another good read from the author who was more famous for his 87th Precinct series.
