Book Description

Durvin Price was sure of two things: that his daughter Gladys was a shining example of goodness and virtue, and that Carl Hobson was the fiend who had murdered her. However, the police did not have the conclusive proof that would fry young Hobson, and that was why he was talking to Pat Raffigan. "I want proof," he told the tall, distinguished-looking detective. "i'll pay anything in the world for it!"

So Pat Raffigan went looking for proof. And as he looked, he learned that Price didn't know his daughter too well. It seemed that Gladys had been a siren who knew many men, most of them pretty shady, and none of them would talk. It was a blind alley - until he finally met Gale Rogers, a redheaded blast of fire, and a couple of men from Frankie Festig's gambling house who, unwittingly, kicked a little sense into his head.

When he came to, he got the proof - but it was proof that would fry somebody else, not young Hobson, for the bullet hole in Gladys Price!... A fast, new mystery novel by the author of Slay Ride For A Lady.
