When a gigolo is shot, to death in the bedroom of a beautiful girl, it raises some perplexing problems for Detective Kenny Kilkenny. Why, for example, would a man steal the license plates off his own car? Why should an innocent young professor come to the murder room ... and then conceal a key to the crime? Why was a "phantom secretary" hiding in the closet near the murdered man? Was there really money to be made selling glass eyes for stuffed ducks? Why would a beautiful girl ask her lover to kill her?
As if these questions—and a hundred others—weren't enough to drive Kilkenny crazy—there were three exceedingly strange characters to plague him : a girl named Rux, a man named Vanizol, and the weirdest of all—Mr. Whisk!
It was a tough case, but so are they all when the word goes out—
PARISIAN PLAYBOY SHOT IN N. Y. BEAUTY'S BOUDOIR ... "PHANTOM SECRETARY" SEEKS SUICIDE...MYSTERY REDHEAD FOUND... — The papers shouted "SCANDAL!"—but the sirens shrieked "MURDER!"
