Where Is Bianca?

In this classic mystery from the Grand Master Edgar Award–winning author, one-eyed cop Tim Corrigan tears New York apart in search of a vanished beauty. Before the Korean War, Tim Corrigan was the toughest cop in the NYPD. He lost his left eye in battle, but that didn't make him any softer. The eye patch makes it impossible for Corrigan to work undercover, to blend in, to sneak. So he doesn't sneak, and he never whispers. He roars. Corrigan's closest friend is Chuck Baer, a private detective who saved his life more than once in Korea, and who is currently combing the city for a missing heiress named Bianca. When a woman matching her description is hauled out of the sewer, Corrigan fears he's solved his friend's case. But finding Bianca will take more than a lucky guess. The secret to her disappearance will draw Corrigan into the darkest part of New York's underbelly.
