The murderer wasn't shy. One victim was killed in a department store window. Another died before the startled eyes of a policeman on guard duty. The third breathed his last in a crowd coming out of a theater. Then the murderer tried the boldest move of all--with Inspector McKee as the intended victim.

Even Inspector Schmidt had to admit that he had been presented with a curious corpse. One hundred thirty pounds of athlete with no sugar in its blood, cotton up its nose, silk in its mouth, phony candy in its pocket and a woman's bath powder on its pants. Before Schmitty could catch up with the killer there was a second corpse, and the Inspector braced himself for one of the most peculiar investigations in his long career.
