About this book

WHEN "FLASH" CASEY, newspaper photographer, was instructed by his Chief to take Karen Harding (amateur photographer and the daughter of one of the Directors) with him and show her the ropes, he little thought he would be leading her into murder on their first assignment. Rosalind Taylor, newspaper reporter, well known for her championing of the under-dog, is on the eve of exposing Matt Lawson, racketeer, and arranges to meet Casey to discuss the matter. When she fails to keep the appointment Casey goes to her apartment, where he finds Rosalind's secretary, Helen McKay, bound and gagged, but no sign of Rosalind. Rosalind is later found shot in her car, and Casey, shocked by the murder of a colleague with whom he had always got on well, pledges himself to find the murderer. Karen, who has her own reasons for wanting the murderer found, proves of invaluable help, and their consequent adventures and hair-breadth escapes, hold the reader's unswerving interest to the very end.
