Plot summary

The body of police detective Dan Grady is pulled from San Francisco Bay, showing signs of an execution. His friend Captain Bill Street asks private investigator James Lee Wong and Herald reporter Bobbie Logan for help. Grady had been working alone on a smuggling assignment and was found in a seaman's uniform. The first leads point to Belden's Jewelers, where Frank Belden is close to receivership, and to the Neptune Cafe, run by the shady businessman Harry Lockett. A witness places Grady at the Neptune club at 8:30 on the night before his body was found, and the three follow the gemstone trail from there.
