About this Item

Print on Demand. This book begins with a retired police officer happening upon a dark mansion in the early hours of the morning, only to stumble upon a gruesome murder scene. The victim is millionaire Eugene Creveling, a notorious art collector, and lover of fast living, shot dead on the floor of his study. The author's prose is as sharp and stylish as the main character, a former officer, whose nose for trouble leads him into the world of high society and art. As the investigation deepens, the author explores themes of wealth, privilege, and familial neglect, all while exploring the fine line between mere chance and the persistent allure of getting oneself mixed up in dangerous situations. The book is sure to fascinate fans of classic mystery, detective thrillers, and tales of intrigue. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

A hard-boiled ex-boundsman sharpens a high-stakes chase through gilded New York.

A former detective returns to the nightbeat to unravel a murder wrapped in high society, cash, and secrets. As clues mount, the case tests loyalties and exposes the dark edges of a glamorous world.

In this gripping tale, a seasoned investigator follows a tangled trail from late-night streets to quiet drawing rooms, where a single game of cards may decide fate. The pursuit blends streetwise grit with cunning and suspense, offering a look at power, pride, and the cost of truth.

A street-smart hero driven by duty and memory
A mystery set against a richly drawn urban landscape
A plot centered on a pivotal card game and its consequences
Tense, atmospheric storytelling with sharp dialogue

Ideal for readers who enjoy classic crime and noir with a strong sense of place and character.
