"The bestselling author of the century . . a master storyteller." -The New York Times
Once again, District Attorney Doug Selby finds himself in a delicate situation. The county newspaper, The Blade, is once again out to ruin his career, this time because he refuses to play ball with the greedy new owner. Meanwhile, a beautiful young redhead is found murdered, and in possession of more than one identity. And if that weren't enough, there is a mysterious heist, and his unscrupulous nemesis, criminal lawyer A. B. Carr, is running circles around him.
The relentless pressure is enough to make one man crack. But with the help of ace-reporter Sylvia Martin and ex-cowboy Sheriff Rex Brandon, Selby just might close this case before his career is toast. Originally published in 1949.
