A Quinny Hite murder mystery.
A wrinkled suit that upsets a wedding... a sacred Japanese knife that must draw blood whenever it is unsheathed. . . the body of a rich playboy strangely crumpled in a phony opium den... a trail of spots, near the scene of a murder, that are visible only in the dark bloodstained white evening jacket. . . a man's gold bracelet that is said to conceal $10,000 in pocket money… two ‘Rubber Checks’, cancelled but not paid, that keep on bouncing around.. . a weirdly glowing statue of a Chinese moon-goddess that holds a strong fascination for a number of people... a door painted red for luck... a plucked chicken that goes on a strange journey. .. A grim ride taken by a detective and a Chinese girl with red hair… a scarlet carnation.
