Martin Kane receives an unsigned letter asking him to pose as a reporter. Martin goes to the yacht of Angus Redfield, a wealthy pearl collector, as instructed but finds Angus killed and himself as the chief suspect.
Private detective Martin Kane works in New York solving crimes. Depending on the year, Kane was either smooth and suave or hard bitten and the cooperation he received from the police depended on the year. The only constant was Happy McMann's tobacco shop where Kane hung out.
