THE UNSPEAKABLE

By

Pub Date: June 3rd, 1960
Publisher: Doubleday

Bucking for promotion Sgt. Russell Barnett pursues -- and persecutes in so doing-the disappearance of 5 year old Chrissie, uses his wife for bait to get information from John Kirk, recuperating from a broken marriage and a physical and mental collapse. A robbery, Barnett's chief's heart attack, and Kirk's photographic assignment bring about the truth of Chrissie's death -- and Barnett's involuntary salvation.
