Tom Alder searches for missing heirs. In effect, he’s an investigator. His current case begins with the murder of Julia Joliet, a movie fan secretary. This takes him to Leroy Dane, a handsome actor and total heel, and one of the dead woman’s clients. And in a roundabout way, the case takes him to New York City and back to one of the great mysteries of the 20th century, the disappearance of heiress Doris Delaney. On the plane to New York Alder meets a young beauty named Nikki and is immediately attracted to her. They separate in Chicago, but she begins to haunt him. Meanwhile, he continues to dig into the story of Doris Delaney, a young girl who simply vanished from the face of the earth. Was she kidnapped? Murdered? Did she simply run away? No one has a clue. Now, days later, it appears that Nikki has also disappeared—and Alder is being followed by a mysterious ex-con who is looking for his long-lost brother. Black Gat #87

Frank Gruber was (officially) born February 2, 1904 in Elmer, Minnesota, though he and his family originally immigrated from Hungary. Wanting to be a writer from an early age, he kept submitting stories until his first sale in 1927. He made his living editing farm newspapers until the Depression, then moved to New York City in 1934. Gruber experienced some lean times until he finally started writing for the pulp magazine, Operator #5, where his career took off. In 1942 he moved to Hollywood. At the height of his writing career, he was turning out westerns, mysteries, romance and science fiction as well as a variety of TV and movie scripts. Gruber created three TV series—Tales of Wells Fargo, The Texan and Shotgun Slade—and had a dozen of his novels turned into films. He wrote an autobiography about his writer’s life as The Pulp Jungle in 1967. Gruber died on December 9, 1969 in Santa Monica, California.
