Story of corruption, murder and mayhem of the Patrol Specials, a private police force in San Francisco that keeps watch for paying clients. It seems as if those who can't pay or don't want to pay are harassed or even murdered by Patrol Special employees. Dismas Hardy is hired as an attorney to pursue a large lawsuit against the Patrol Specials by their victims. Events get hairy for Hardy when he's hired to defend a friend, John Holiday, who's accused of murdering a shopkeeper who stopped paying for protection from the Patrol Special force. Dismas suspects it's one of the Patrol's employees who committed the murder and as he investigates with the help of a city policeman, he becomes stymied at every corner. Even his life is threathened. Well written with plot, characters, setting and dialogue all flowing together nicely. Pretty suspenseful.
