A shut-and-opened case? The beautiful heiress had done a foolproof job on herself. After a large dose of sleeping pills, she'd slashed her wrists, then climbed into the tub and drowned. Only her fiance said suicide was impossible and begged Mac to help, at any price. And when Mac started to investigate, he found that even the police weren't so sure of suicide—if the cop on his tail was any indication. And there were other oddities. Huge periodic withdrawals in the dead woman's bankbook. The homosexual artist who said he'd loved her. The seamy world of the slums where she'd made secret visits for years. Each clue Mac uncovered sketched out a case that was anything open and shut - and a portrait of a dead heiress who had led two lives. This is the 12th suspense novel about Mac, the Chicago private eye, whom Anthony Boucher called "one of fiction's best private detectives, solidly and humanly in the Hammett tradition."

“Tanner,” he called. “Hurry up, down there,” yelled the navigator. “Let’s get on our way.” “Tanner. Come down here.” Some thing in Manders’ voice brought immediate action. Tanner came scrambling down the tube, his face serious. “What is it?” “Look!” Tanner followed the other’s gaze, touched the thin stream of sticky stuff, held his hand closer to his eyes. “Blood!” he breathed. “By all that’s holy. Blood!”

"The bald fact of the matter is that there are few writers who can pull off utter confusion the way Cross can. And yet we are given to understand that Cross is an upright, reasonable sort, who, judging from the stories that have appeared under his name, turns onto writing the way a flower child turns onto psychedelics. For that matter few writers would dare commit a story like this to paper—who but Cross would have guessed that the adventures of a star-crossed lizard would make such exciting reading? Sometimes the best fiction is inexplicable. We think you’ll find “The Adventures of Lance the Lizard” inexplicably joyful. —And that is a recommendation we seldom make."
