The perpetrators are unusually brutal. There are fatalities. The investigators follow the trail of blood to Chinatown. But the possible witnesses are dropping like flies...   Miles Beaumont was startled when he heard the noise.
His gaze slid up. He glanced at the clock. Half past three in the morning. The night was almost over, and it wasn't the first time Beaumont had worked through the night in the small, unadorned office. He reached for the drawer in his desk. Slowly, he pulled it out. Then he felt the cold grip of a .38 revolver. He listened intently. Glass clinked. Steps. Then someone opened the office door. Beaumont raised his gun and cocked the hammer.
Sweat of fear ran down his high forehead in thick beads. His face was contorted into a grim mask.
