MURDER AGAINST THE GRAIN
By
Genuinely funny political satire here as American grain bound for Russia gets moored to Manhattan docks. New York's Sloan Guarantee Trust has been neatly bilked out of $985,000 by a carefully forged Russian bill of claim. It's John Thatcher's job to recover it as the hounds of international policy makers descend. Is something rotten in Moscow? Was it a subversive plot by the New Left? Zany and it will keep you guessing.
