Included are stories about how $5000 was taken from under the eyes of two detectives without either having seen it taken; about how the Op solved a tough case in less than 60 minutes; about how foghorns nearly cause the Op to pass in his chips; and about why nive clues were not enough. Front cover is an art-deco design and rear cover is a street map of San Francisco, pinpointing the locations of 20 key events in the book's five stories. A desirable early Dell mystery title.
