'LARRY KENT, the private investigator from U.S.A., keeps a mysterious appointment with a stranger “on the Hill” at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
'While trying to puzzle out the intricacies of cricket in comparison with baseball, he doesn’t blame the man next to him falling asleep. “I looked at him again,” says Kent. “He was the first sleeper I’d ever seen who kept his eyes open.” He was dead —murdered.
'From the flimsy clue of the appointment message written on a piece of paper used in the private loans section of a certain bank, Kent unravels a very ingenious plot and brings to book a gang of international crooks.
'The beautiful daughter of one of the world’s most famous atomic scientists is impersonated by another beautiful woman —the scientist is himself impersonated and tortured, Kent is twice nearly murdered, and his reward is to help the scientist’s real daughter, Anna, to forget some very harrowing experiences, and, as Kent says, “It was a nice job—so was Anna.”'
