The Macmillan Company. The scene is Reno, but this is not a story of divorce. Whitney does not know what it is all about, but he does know that he is in danger. Instead of running away, as he is advised to do, he undertakes to find out what is going on. By so doing he is in at the finish of an exciting spy hunt and takes his full share of the risks.
Much blood is shed, and most of it comes from persons who are ripe for the gallows.
The New York Times Book Review, vol. This time they started for Reno to get married before Whit joined the armed forces, but life for them is not so simple as that. They ran into a nest of hideous villains, one of whom may be a Nazi, met other dubious citizens in various bars, became involved in murder and generally carried on in their jovial, thin-mannish fashion. One of the more enigmatic characters is Casey Jones, an electrical engineer disguised as a tramp. The slightly unhinged effect of this narrative need not keep you from guessing.
