A Chinese vase purchased by fashionable antiques dealer Victor De Chassenay is found to contain 100, 000 dollars. When Mike Faraday, laconic LA private eye, is engaged by De Chassenay and his glamorous partner Angela Spinelli to investigate he is rapidly drawn into a web of violence and terror.
Why was the old man Farintosh tortured and murdered ? Who is the character in the white raincoat who clubs Mike down ? And why should a computer print-out lead Mike to the rusty old tub, the Okara Maru?
Mike, aided by his astringent blonde secretary Stella, battles through, meeting on the way pottery owner J. J. Jacobi and his nubile sister Deirdre. Not to mention X, the unknown factor, who always seems a step ahead until the final showdown.
The adventures of Mike Faraday have appeared throughout the Commonwealth and in Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain and Norway, and have been described by H. R. F. Keating in Whodunnit as "having a degree of authenticity achieved by few British writers".
Genre: Mystery
