Book Description
The gunner at his station was dead. And Armed Guard Lieutenant Jim Marcey knew it was murder - murder not for gain, but part of a larger, grimmer scheme.
The night it all began was one of those unreal ghostlike nights when the sea has a thousand voices and all of them whisper of danger. On all sides the convoy slashed through the dark night. On the outskirts, the submarine wolf pack was hunting them.
Clutched in the dead man's hand was a glass cat; obviously a significant clue, if Jim could understand its meaning. Before long it became apparent that there were others, sinister men and women, who also sought the secret. Was the answer to be found in New York? Or in Cairo? Or in London? Jim had to find it; through danger, in desperate back ways, in spite of sudden death and ever-present peril.
With the help of attractive "Twenty" O'Neil, to whom he was engaged, Jim fits the pieces of the puzzle together and averts a catastrophe that might have had international repercussions.
