Lauderdale for the gray cold of Chicago. The word is help, and it's uttered by Glory Geis, an old girlfriend of McGee's and the pretty young widow of world-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Fortner Geis. The trouble is, the good doctor converted his considerable estate into cash before he died. But where he stashed it, no one knows. There's only one thing as good as reading a John D. MacDonald novel: reading it again. - John SaulAlthough everyone from the IRS to Dr. Geis' greedy grown children suspects that Glory is hiding the lost fortune, she hasn't a clue as to its whereabouts.
