In the dark misty streets of Seattle, there are no vacations from crime. Just one week after young PI Alan Stewart tangles with the White Dragon, he finds himself once again paired with the beautiful and dangerous Vera Deward and embroiled in a mystery that is shaking the entire city. This time, a well-known and aging heiress has disappeared. Has she simply departed early for a glamorous honeymoon, as her much younger and newly acquired husband insists, or has there been foul play? Alan and Vera race against the clock, tracking murder suspects though the murky cityscape looking for clues to the heiress's whereabouts. Clues that lead to shady hotels, underground catacombs in Chinatown, and heart-pounding confrontations on fast-moving trains. Can Alan unwind the enigma in time or will this mystery elude him?
