โฆ Synopsis
From Kirkus Review
An ungentlemanly League of Gentleman's attempt-to pull off a big bank robbery-is organized, synchronized and effected-through a mortician's establishment and with the necessary props-a hearse, a cortege and a body. However the corpse which is secured-that of a nameless man-has a genuine claimant, his daughter, and her attempt to find her father's remains alerts a second attempt to find her and this pursuit, by her fiance and a newspaperman on his first case, breaks the crime for the police. Clever and catchy.
