At her startup detective agency, she and her motley crew of associates await their next case. They don't have long to wait. Their newest mystery promenades through the door in the svelte shape of a Broadway actress. She hires them to recover her stolen painting. Straightforward? No. The thespian is kidnapped just as a chilling, unearthly growl reverberates through the air. When the eerie snarl rips through the air again, it signals a gas attack.

Ace must find the painting, save the actress, and figure out what the ominous growling means, all before she gets shot full of daylight. Things look mighty grim for the maverick heroine. Can she come out on top this time? Of course not. It's impossible. But then again, the impossible is what Ace Carroway does best. This book contains: Gas grenades. Tramp steamers. Tommy guns.
