The final Cellini Smith novel. Cellini Smith is hired to solve a murder case-for a retainer of $26.94. "In just three novels and nine black mask novelettes, Robert Reeves produced some of the most entertaining and offbeat hard-boiled crime fiction of the late Thirties and early Forties." - Pronzini and Muller, 1001 Midnights, The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction, pp. 669-70. [Note-Reeves was primarily a Black Mask author and had a dozen pieces of short fiction in the pulps]. Reeves career was unfortunately cut short as he was killed in action in WW II.
