Influential businessman Felix Decker calls Detective sergeant Frank Malloy to investigate a death at the exclusive Knickerbocker Club. Chilton Devries has been found dead at the club. At first they believed he had died from a heart attack, until they discovered the blood stain on the back of his chair. Mr. Decker wants to know who murdered Mr. Devries and even offers his daughter, Sarah Brandt, as someone who can help Malloy. Malloy is happy for the help, especially since he and Sarah have solved some tough cases together. But Sarah believes that her father is testing more than Malloy's investigative skills.

This is another great addition to the Gaslight Mystery series. They mystery is enjoyable, even though it was pretty easy to figure out. It's the characters that shine in this story, especially Mrs. Decker who also takes part in the investigation. Her character has certainly evolved since the beginning of the series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
