Lorenz Heller's superb 1957 noir novel Dead Wrong (written under the name Larry Holden) concerns a guy in danger because of a package people think he received. He never got the package and has no idea what was in it, but he could still be killed for it. Plus he could face a murder rap. There are also two potential femmes fatales to worry about.
