Slim Callaghan had been hired by beautiful Cynthis Meraulton to stop her cousins getting her step-fathers money. But when the old man is murdered, the only suspect with no alibi and a giant motive is Cynthis. Slim always played his cases the way they came, but it turned out the Meraulton job had more twists than a hangmans rope. Slim Callaghans quick wit and knowledge of rough and tumble place him in the top ranks of private eyes. What a man! New York Times Book Review
