  "All kinds of amorous accords and discords get in play when love lies a' bleeding in the shape of a much hated, but very beautiful wife and extortionist. Her death, believed to be accidental, is investigated by McKee—and leads him a fine whirl. Those involved—New York's rotogravure highlights, society and politicians alike, play mum...A fast paced story, handled with velvet.”—Kirkus
