Future heroics appear out of the question. But a former associate calls on him to investigate the disappearance of some foundation funds. While probing for the truth in this financial puzzle, he stumbles upon a murder, the ashes of important files—and evidence of a diabolical plot. The story twists its way through the hazy corridors of intrigue into the rarefied atmosphere of high adventure, along the razor’s edge of danger, and on to the final resolution which is sure to thrill mystery buffs.
