WHO - left lighted candles by the body of a murdered girl- and took her head?
WHAT - was the connection between a pair of glamorous two-timing redheads and the slot machine king?
HOW - did a Mongol emperor who died in the 13th century help solve a murder in the 20th?

These are a few of the brain teasers that private eye Neal Cotten has to answer in this tough, fast-paced thriller of the slot machine racket in a Southern California town.


KIRKUS REVIEW
Neal Cotten`s Bureau of Investigation, signed up to reveal the connection between crime syndicate and their slot machines and police collusion, gets the run around from the two daughters of the newspaper owner who has hired him. Everything correlates as he ties in a dead editor, the murder of one of the girls, a lynching and twenty year old scandale. Lots of coincidence clinching here in California. So-so.
