A Crime Club Selection...It all began when a best selling American author, living in Paris was forced by a mountain of unpaid bills to recognize the fact he could no longer maintain the sybaritic way he enjoyed. He cast about for a solution and found that murder seemed the only alternative. Had it not been for some entailed jewelry belonging to his stepson, a belted earl, the writer would probably have gotten away with it. But his disappearance, coinciding with that of a ruby necklace, roused the interest of Sym Gilkerson, a security management adviser (private eye). With the collaboration of an attractive social anthropologist, Sym traces the missing author to Haiti, where he finds that Nemesis has already started doing her stuff.
