Ken Shannon #4

Ken Shannon, the city's toughest private detective, takes a moonlit drive with his secretary that lands him in the middle of an Indian war party's vendetta—and a murder case that's anything but straightforward. When a desperate businessman hires him to stop a band of Otowami Indians from killing him over stolen land, Shannon finds himself caught between a war cry for justice and a mystery that demands solving before someone ends up scalped. With his wits and his fists, the crime-buster must uncover what's really behind the "Stone Hatchet Murder" before the war party strikes again.

Detective Ken Shannon is marked for death by a powerful criminal known only as the Big Guy—the only witness to a murder that could send him to the chair—but when every trap and bullet fails to silence him before tomorrow's trial, Ken realizes his only shot at survival is to find someone willing to take his place. With Pete Zorro's brutal warnings escalating to bombs and sabotage, Ken must outthink a ruthless organization that's already measured him for a coffin.

When private eye Ken Shannon agrees to infiltrate a spiritualist racket preying on a wealthy heiress, he discovers that the "All-Seeing Eye" is running a con far more elaborate than a simple séance—complete with a ghostly reappearance, a muscle-bound enforcer, and secrets worth killing for. As Ken pieces together the scheme, he'll need more than jokes and quick thinking to expose the truth before his assistant vanishes into the operation's dark machinery.
