Lew Brandon, private eye,
lands up in St. Raphael City, to learn that his partner, Jack Sheppey, has been
found murdered. His efforts to trace Sheppey's killer leads him to Creedy,
racketeer and businessman, who tells Brandon to lay off or else.. Creedy has
Captain Katchen, an ominous cop, as well as Hertz, an ominous thug, in his
payroll. So far so good. Brandon is used to such occupational hazards. But
soon he comes across a match folder, with a code imprinted on it. The match
folder originated in hot-shot Musketeer Club, with a very very exclusive clientele.
The coded match folder has importance for people who visit the guarded interiors
of Marcus Hahn's School of Ceramics. Brandon is soon on the trail of drug
runners and assorted crooks. He is helped in his pursuits by Margot Creedy - the
glamorous daughter of racketeer boss, Creedy. So things are bound to get out of
control..... |
