Book Description

Henry Nelson, the big shot of Tampa, got Dan Henderson out of the pen. He had his reason. He told Dan to find his wife, Connice Nelson, and he would pay him five thousand dollars and square things all around for him.

Out of a job and broke, ex-copper Dan Henderson took the assignment. And Dan found her - in far away Hawaii. He found, too, that he had been the "finger man" in lovely Connice's murder...and that he was the fall guy.

Dan escaped aboard the U.S. bound boat, taking with him Connice's baby. Now he knew why he had been railroaded to the penitentiary; why his brother, an assistant district attorney, had been murdered; why he had been hired to find Connice and why he had been framed for her murder...and he knew why he had to fight his way back to Tampa and kill...

And there was one bright hope: Big Mike Rafferty, Nelson's hated rival, with whom he had always been on good terms. But as he walked into his stateroom that night, with the baby in his arms, there sat Big Mike, a look of cold hatred in his eyes and a gun in his hand. "This," Big Mike Rafferty said, "is the end..."

The last hope Dan Henderson had in the world had gone.
