The company wants to know why burglars don't steal. Carol, who owns the company in partnership with her uncle Edgar, hires Smith. Her uncle has been coming and going furtively. She wants to know if he is being blackmailed. Smith has a novel way of finding out. He throws knives at Edgar. He reasons that a blackmailer will try to keep his victim alive and therefore reveal himself. And Smith is paid to let Edgar live. The money comes from a reporter for the Macao Weekly Mail, "one of those professionally anti-American papers with a foreign sponsor." Soon Smith has three puzzles to solve: What does lovely Gretchen, a blackjack dealer, have to do with a Communist newspaper? Why is the newspaper ready with a headline story about something that hasn't happened yet? What is Edgar hiding from his niece? Written by atash See less
