The Glass Alibi

Nick Sloan was the greatest private eye in the history of San Francisco, but tough times had his office growing cobwebs.It looked like a lucky break when a bombshell named Elizabeth Burnett walked in with her tale of woe and misery.Her $10,000 dollar retainer was as real as her cuts and bruises, especially since $5,000 was cash.Back in 1980 that was a lot of cabbage.Getting the dirt on his beautiful clients' business partners would be easy; one was a local real estate tycoon.The other was Betty Bloomfield, but no one knew what had happened to Betty... it seemed she just disappearedIt was a snap to find the guy who raped Elizabeth, but he didn't have much to say, seeing how he was already dead.With multiple millions of dollars at stake Sloan had his work cut out for him, but no matter what evidence he followed, he ended up on a blind alley or a dead end street.It seemed to Sloan that he was always one step behind whoever was pulling the strings. It felt like he could take the rap.The deeper he got, the more he realized that there was no escape.
