Brief description:
Just off the fashionable lobby of San Francisco’s Sherwin Hotel, in assistant manager Bruce Morrow’s office, lies the corpse of a man with a bullet hole in his chest. A thin thread of uncertain evidence is enough to focus suspicion on Morrow and involve Sheila Sherwin, lovely daughter of the hotel owner.
The house detective’s investigation and findings serve to complicate the situation when he uncovers a scandal surrounding the fascinating Mrs. Langlois, a guest whose strange past eventually connects explosively with the present.
Another chilling murder, and the pressure of mounting suspicion drives Bruce Morrow to fight back. Knowing that at the end of his sleuthing he must accuse - or be accused — Morrow brings about a surprisingly clever solution that promises to hold the reader in a new and different kind of suspense.
