'WHEN Larry Kent, the private investigator, undertook to trace the murderer of Peter Larrimer, blackmailer and worse, he did it at cut rates—£200 if he succeeded, £20 in advance, but no more if he failed. His inquiries took him to a girl’s flat, and very nearly to gaol for battery and assault on a police officer, to say nothing of murder.

'This Peter Larrimer was more than somewhat of a no-good individual. Innumerable people would have been glad to see him dead, anyway, even if it did mean murder, and those people included a number of pretty women, including show girls and actresses. All of which, of course, did not make Kent’s job any easier, especially when he further complicates things by killing a man in the girl’s flat. However, his hatred of crime, plus the connivance of an underworld confederate, sees the “rap” brought home where it be longs.'
