Title: Will exercise your mind keeping the plot straight.
Review: A well-woven plot that ties the present to the past. Not as good as "The Underground Man," another MacDonald book, but similar and still very well done. The writing style is hard-boiled, but literate. It comes to something of an abrubt end, but the lead-up juggles enough suspects, witnesses, and victims across a twenty year time-span to keep you entertained.
