Dark-haired and delicately built, she was a sweetly wanton career girl, living alone in a Manhattan walk-up. In addition to companionship, she offered McGee the first clue, the first clue to a swindle. It was the very first thread in the elaborate fabric of a swindle so gigantic that it took a small army of shysters and financiers to keep it secret.The clue sets McGee on a wild and tortuous chase that takes him into the decadent world of Café Society, the ruthless world of really BIG money, and the weird and terrifying frontier of hallucinogenic drugs.This is the third Fawcett edition, with the same cover art as the first two.
