An insurance investigator chases a vanished heiress-- and a huge payday One of the richest girls on Park Avenue is missing. Cynthia Brandon left her father's apartment on Monday, and three days later has not been seen anywhere on the respectable side of town. She may have been kidnapped, or murdered. Or she may have simply gotten bored with her pampered life in a twenty-two-room apartment, and split.   Harvey Krim wouldn't care about Cynthia if it weren't for the fact that girls like her pay his rent. His employers have insured Cynthia's life for $3 million, making her more than another missing heiress. Krim agrees to find her in exchange for a hefty bonus, but what he's making is nothing compared to the price on Cynthia's head. As any insurance agent knows, being so valuable to so many people can be very bad for a young girl's health.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author's estate.
