The War is over, but only just, and San Francisco is still crammed with military uniforms. It is also crammed with Bohemians. Noel Bruce, the protagonist of this mystery with elements of romantic suspense, straddles both camps: By day she's a straight-laced driver for the Navy, but at night she lets her hair down and parties with her flamboyant art-school chums. The party comes to a screeching halt, however, when a dead body turns up in a sculptor's studio.
