Emmet Rafferty's newspaperman's friend came back from Europe and phoned Rafferty at the Homicide Bureau. When he asked for Rafferty the voice on the other end said: "Are you kidding?" and hung up. . . . .What had happened to Rafferty - the good cop - the man who hated killers - the family man? . . . .Rafferty is a story of infatuation, which leads a man of good character to the petty sins of deception and dishonesty, and finally to the act of murder. . . . .Rafferty's temptation came from Rose Pauli, a stripteaser. As Rafferty's superior on the force said: "Rose Pauli wasn't beautiful, but maybe she had that something and there was only one person it would work on. And that person was Emmet Rafferty. . .Anyhow, he was ready and she lit the fuse." . . .
