276 pp. "They came to Colonel Granger, capitalist, builder and former mine owner, with a warrant for his arrest on an old and minor charger--little more than a technicality, in fact.

Suicide, they said; two eyewitnesses of unimpeachable standing guaranteed it. But it was not suicide; it was murder."--jacket
