A man convicted of bank robbery receives an early release, with authorities hoping he will lead them to the stolen 60,000 pounds, which they believe he hid. They also suspect he had inside help and that, upon his release, he plans to share the loot with his co-conspirators.
The case takes a dark turn when the robber is found dead. Soon, others suspected of involvement are also murdered, adding to the mystery. As the body count rises, it becomes clear that only the most intuitive investigator can unravel the truth behind the web of deceit.
This classic 1933 novel by Zenith Brown (under the pen name David Frome—she also wrote as Leslie Ford) delivers a gripping tale of intrigue and murder.
