About This Book

A fast-paced pulp mystery opens in an upscale club where a perceptive cardroom waiter overhears two members plotting in secret. He uses tampered windows and the fire escape to eavesdrop, then returns home to arm himself and ready a motorcycle as he prepares to witness and exploit the scheme. The story follows the escalation from clandestine surveillance to direct confrontation, tracing how evidence is gathered and a criminal circle targeting society figures is pursued. Action-driven chapters emphasize infiltration, suspense, and the procedural unraveling of a looting plot among wealthy club members.
