The story

Joe Ezell came home from the war and set up as a private eye, and most of his trade is tailing straying husbands for wealthy wives who want grounds for divorce. Faye Marten does not quite fit the pattern, but her money is good, so Joe takes the job of following her husband Hal.

Within hours Hal Marten himself turns up at Joe's office. The police think he has killed his wife, who is now missing, and he wants Joe to clear him. The more Joe digs, the less either Marten looks like the person they claim to be, and the real question becomes whether he can prove it and close the case before someone else is killed.
