Fight against Crime #14

Cary Williams takes his new job as a city building inspector seriously—too seriously, perhaps—when he discovers that Wilson School is a genuine danger to its students, with crumbling stairs and faulty fire escapes that could spell disaster. But when his urgent report gets buried by indifferent superiors and powerful interests, Williams faces an impossible choice between exposing the truth and protecting his own family's future. A gripping tale of conscience, corruption, and the price of doing the right thing in a city where money talks louder than safety.

Ralph Olcott is a smooth-talking card shark living off his family name and his luck at the tables—until he marries the wealthy but deaf Elaine, hoping to solve his money troubles. When boredom and resentment set in, Ralph and Elaine's cousin Shelia hatch a sinister plot to eliminate his inconvenient wife, but Elaine's disability may prove to be far more of an advantage than anyone anticipated.
