Catspaw James Wheaton Furlong again fronting for an espionage chase runs into volunteer information which the mysterious Col. Groode has been unable to unearth. There is a Hungarian refugee, an established art gallery which has become suspect, a murder which looks like suicide -- and dope, politics or art treasure the hidden motives. It takes genteel torture and fast footwork by his employers to get Furlong out of this mess. Washington wheels within wheels for complicated intriguing.
