To find his ex-wife's killer, Drum takes on the Communist Party. Deirdre Hartsell loved life too much to shoot herself in her pretty head. She'd been a high-society party girl since her days at college, and her two greatest passions were keeping up appearances and having a roaring good time. Women like that don't kill themselves, and Deirdre's father wants to prove that his girl didn't die by her own hand. To get the truth, he hires Washington DC's sharpest private detective, Chester Drum. After all, Drum knew Deirdre better than anyone -- he was married to her. But in a town built on lies, Deirdre lived with more than her fair share of secrets, and the first thing Drum learns is that his late ex-wife was a prominent member of the Communist Party, supporting the local cell with endless donations from her fat checkbook. Did leftist sympathies get Deirdre killed? The truth lies in Venezuela -- and Chester Drum has gone farther than that for answers before.
