Max Brand is generally regarded as the author of superior westerns like his „Destry Rides Again", but Brand also wrote the „Dr. Kildare" series and numerous detective stories as well. Never before published in book form, this 1937 police procedural by veteran Brand introduces New York police detectives Campbell and O'Rourke. The pair investigate the apparent suicide of a philanthropist David Barry who was about to be accused of bribery and corruption prior to his death. Angus Campbell and Patrick O'Rourke can get the cuffs on the killer, there'll be endless face-offs in which the five suspects hurl accusations at each other and reveal how many of them were popping in and out of the crowded murder scene on the fatal night.
