'TONY CARROLL accidentally shoots himself while cleaning a gun. From then on he becomes the "corpus delicti," the one unconsidered thread in the great tangle of death investigation. But Tony, being a different young man, decides he will have a voice in the matter, and makes clear his attitude to everyone connected—his wife, Ruth; a friend of the family, Alex.; his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lee; his secretary, Jenny; and the inquiring policeman, Sergeant Blain. How everything works out tor the best, under the benevolent eye of "the corpse" gives this story its novel twist.'
