When the club closes, he and Bricky--now linked by a budding romance--return to the scene of the crime intending to restore the stolen fortune, only to discover, upon arrival, that the owner of the property has been murdered. There's evidence present that links Quinn to the crime, and he expects that, as soon as day breaks and the authorities learn of the gruesome sce...ne, he will be arrested straight away.Which mean that he and Bricky have only a few short hours to find the true killer and clear Quinn's name for good." -- Book jacket.
