When a woman is found strangled near a New York hospital, night watchman Ed Finnerty becomes the only witness to the killer's movements—but the police need more than one man's account to close the case. Dr. Alexander Weiner, the clever bacteriologist and serologist of the Chief Medical Examiner's office, applies the rigorous methods of laboratory science to trace the killer through physical evidence left at the scene.
