Book Description
Carl Chapman has forced life to give him what he wanted - the editorship of the New York Comet, the house with blue shutters, Rose and the children. And now, in a single moment, with two whispered words, it all threatened to come crashing about his ears.
There is no mystery - for the reader - about what happened after that. Carl Chapman murdered the woman who had whispered...And Lance McCleary, Carl's star crime reporter, saw a story where no one else did, and set out to track the murderer down. Carl had no choice, in self-protection, but to encourage Lance and watch the Comet's circulation boom.
Rich in background color (particulary in its scenes in the Bowery) here is a murder story which depends for its very real suspense not on hidden elements, but on the eventual outcome of the battle between Carl the editor and Carl the man.
