About this book
>The scene is on Long Island near a defense plant. Clues are many and curious, and the plot is contrived with unusual care. Why do cats of the neighbourhood disappear? What does the ruler with divisions of thirty-seconds of an inch mean? Who is the secret visitor Ed Sharp entertained the night he was murdered?
