About This Book

A detective and his two assistants are summoned when the corpse of a notorious criminal vanishes from an undertaker’s rooms, prompting an urgent inquiry. They review the previous night’s circumstances, including the apparent suicide and the coroner’s examination, and question the undertaker and police about the missing remains. Faced with the possibility that the death was feigned or that the body was stolen for sinister purposes, they consider drugs, deception, or foul play as explanations. The investigators set out to trace the missing corpse, resolve doubts about the man’s fate, and determine whether a dangerous threat still exists.
