- Synopsis
- [from the back cover] "THE D.A. DRAWS TWO CIRCLES Selby narrowed the compass so that it would draw a circle a scant half inch in diameter. Slowly, deliberately he drew a circle around a point on the map. "There, Carr, is your limit. Stay within that circle, and you won't be molested. Start moving around outside of it, and you'll wish you hadn't." With these words Douglas Selby brought to an end one of the most baffling cases the young District Attorney of Madison County had been called upon to solve--a case that had begun with a blood-stained suit reported by a driver for the Acme Cleaners & Dyers. A naked man was found dead in a barranca out at Orange Heights, shot twice in exactly the same place. Another man disappeared. Then a speedometer which registered ninety miles for each trip led the D.A. to draw his first circle, and with the help of Sheriff Rex Brandon and reporter Sylvia Martin he forced the hand of a slick and ingenious criminal lawyer and brought to justice a slick and ingenious criminal."
