Who killed Kitty Keeler's two sons in the dead of night and dumped them in nearby park? That is the question for police department to decide. While detectives are fighting over positions in the police hierarchy, one man genuinely tries to solve the case and help poor mother, and in the process become infatuated with her. However, as it turns out, Kitty Keeler is not the woman she seems to be. Superficially cold, inside warm, no one knows what she is or what she is thinking. Many factors are involved in the case, for instance Kitty's involvement with underworld figures, curious acting of her husband, relentless assault by detectives on Kitty, unscrupulous lawyer, manipulation of events, time of death, phone calls in the middle of the night, shameless journalist, all that which doesn't need to surprise unlike in other crime novels because Dorothy Unhak herself was a cop, and at the end of her career died of drug overdose, which is rather less painful than other suicides in police profession. Good crime novel, but maybe too long.
