The Devils Passkey Mystery Paperback Book by Jimmy Shannon Investigation 1953

Dames, Drugs and DEATH!

WHY was exotic, red-headed Jerry Selbridge anxious to hire Ruff Morgan, hard-hitting private eye?

WHY was a top underworld figure so interested in an obscure scientist's secret formula? 

WHAT was hidden in the locket that Jerry jealously guarded?

WHY did an international dope smuggler commit murder?

WHO, was the man who was kidnapped in a dog carrier?

AND HOW WAS Ruff Morgan going to explain to Kathy, his fiancee, those four days – and nights - at Jerry's side?

You'll learn the answers in this action-packed thriller that moves at a terrific pace from a Long Island estate and a Park Avenue penthouse, to a lonely island in Jamaica Bay, and winds up with a bang in a glass-walled laboratory where dope and death are brewed.
