Sinopsis

Gladys Fleming had her doubts. Enough at any rate to engage Colonel Jefferson Davis Rand--better known just as Jeff--private detective and a pistol-collector himself, to catalogue, appraise, and negotiate the sale of her late husband?s collection.There were a number of people who had wanted the collection. The question was: had anyone wanted it badly enough to kill Fleming? And if so, how had he done it? Here is a mystery, told against the fascinating background of old guns and gun-collecting, which is rapid-fire without being hysterical, exciting without losing its contact with reason, and which introduces a personable and intelligent new private detective. It is a story that will keep your nerves on a hair trigger even if you don?t know the difference between a cased pair of Paterson .34?s and a Texas .40 with a ramming-lever.'Well, have you thought that it might just be suicide?' Kathie asked. 'I have, briefly, I dismissed the thought, almost at once,' Rand told her. 'One, that if it had been suicide, Mrs. Fleming wouldn?t want it poked into and two, I doubt if a man who prided himself on his gun-knowledge would want his self-shooting to be taken for an accident.'
