It all began with the appearance in the office of a private detective, Carl Good, of an elderly provincial lady who asked him to find her daughter—who had moved to the city with a millionaire oilman. The detective starts searching and practically immediately runs into criminals who deal in racketeering and kill anyone who gets in the way of big money.
The novel “Bait for Fools” is something in between a police detective and an action thriller, with a tense intrigue that, as expected, develops quickly.
