A missing wife, a possessive mother, an unfaithful husband: these are the three sides of a triangle enclosing the problem that Glenn Bowman, top-flight New York private detective, is hired to investigate.
Luck leads him to an empty house, long abandoned and almost derelict. But there the trail ends. Step by step he checks back into the life of Mrs Mary Stowell from the day she was last seen. And soon one fact stands out with frightening significance -- directly or indirectly, Mary is worth more dead than alive.
Two people know the answer. A bullet in the back makes sure one of them will never talk.
Genre: Mystery
