John Putnam Thatcher seriesbook 13 of 24Next:Murder Without Icing(1972) →

Corpses are bad for business, as John Putnam Thatcher, senior vice-president for Sloan Guaranty Trust, found out when he investigated the affairs of Slax Unlimited, a Sloan-backed plant in Puerto Rico beset with some very suspicious "accidents." With $3 million of Sloan money at stake, there was nothing for Thatcher to do but go down to San Juan and investigate. What he found was a body in the front office, violence in a fiery festival, and a ransom note to the governor of Puerto Rico. And for Sloan's premier investigator, murder was decidedly not conducive to business.
