"Five years ago the plant of Fairfax General Engineering had been robbed.  Two night guards had been murdered and the killers had got away with a quarter-of-a-million dollars in payroll.  No trace was found of the killers or the money - the case seemed doomed to be pigeon-holed away in the files at Police Headquarters among the register of unsolved crimes.
How "Private-eye" Johnny Maquis was presented with the lead which set him on the trail to bust open the case that had baffled the best F.B.I. experts, makes this one of the most exciting and powerful stories Vernon Warren has yet written."
