Book description
Jim Clane, arriving in Dunlop to clean up the town, found it teeming
with crime, vice and political corruption. Clane started by
instigating a near-riot at a political meeting, thus at once getting
in the bad graces of both the machine mayor and Wickett, the powerful
newspaper publisher who backed him. Then one of the publisher's
reporters died, and after that Wickett himself was murdered. And
Clane's alibi-that he'd been with the nymphomaniac wife of the jealous
city boss-was guaranteed to pack almost as much danger as a murder charge!
A fast, tough, suspenseful baffler by a justly popular author.
