At the time, it attracts slight attention, but later, in a neighboring apartment, the body of a man is discovered, dead from a bullet wound. It does not take the police long to discover that he has been murdered. Then Peter Clancy, red-headed detective, admired by thousands of Mrs. Thayer's readers, steps into the story. >As the plot develops, it becomes evident that back of the murder is a sinister conspiracy and a secret ruthless group which thwarts Clancy's efforts at every turn and finally endangers his life.
