A courpse dropped in for cocktails... and Mike Shayne was more than a little disturbed.

The police weren't particularly happy either. How, they asked, could a man with three bullets in his chest drive to Mike's apartment, cross the lobby, take the elevator, and die only after he had reached Mike's door?

A good question - and a difficult one to answer.

Mike's hesitancy in responding was understandable, particularly since it seemed so obvious that the principal cause of death had to be - Mike Shayne.
