         When a long-buried body is discovered at National Pictures Studios, private investigator Rick Walker is called in to identify it. His investigation leads to a thirty-year-old murder case, a dying film director and his wild daughters, a legendary film star of the Silent Era, local gangsters, and a very discreet love affair.

review by Tom Elliott in July 2006 Mensa Bulletin
"To borrow from the title of an old radio drama series, I love a mystery, and this one is short and sweet.Move over Raymond Chandler, [G.E.] Nordell's Rick Walker, P.I. has taken center stage."
