A rampaging wife of a Manhattan socialite plunges with her car into the East River – and it is only weeks afterward that a sleugh decides to do something about a recurring corpse… A Detective McKee mystery, from the author of Dead Man Control and McKee of Centre Street.
Death strikes down a man on the eve of his wedding to a lovely girl. The verdict is suicide, but the girl is certain it is murder—certain because of a closing door. Inspector McKee wonders, too, and soon both he and the girl have their hands full trying to catch up with an ingenious murderer who leaves a corpse-dotted trail.
