Cheyney writes an enjoyable, intelligent mystery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Slim Callaghan is up to his usual tricks, staving off the attention of two gorgeous cousins, Desiree and Manon Gardell. Their uncle, Admiral Gardell, has just been murdered -- or was he a suicide? After a brief mourning period, they hire Slim, hoping he can riddle out their sticky position as beneficiaries of the Admiral's insurance policies. At the same time, Slim is recovering from a nasty beating by Nicky Starata and his oversized henchman, Leon. Nicky is mixed up in a suspicious warehouse fire, and Slim has told his insurance company not to pay the claim. An urbane and nicely-plotted mystery by Cheyney who published 35 novels and passed away in 1951.
