"When Quinn first meets Bricky, she's working as a partner-for-hire at a dancehall and he's struggling to shake the anxiety of his guilty conscience. Earlier that day, the young man took advantage of a found key and used it to rob a stranger's home and now, with tthe purloined money in his pocket, Quinn is unable to escape the memory of his wrongdoing. When the club closes, he and Bricky--now linked by a budding romance--return to the scene of the crime intending to restore the stolen fortune, only to discover, upon arrival, that the owner of the property has been murdered. There's evidence present that links Quinn to the crime, and he expects that, as soon as day breaks and the authorities learn of the gruesome scene, he will be arrested straight away.Which mean that he and Bricky have only a few short hours to find the true killer and clear Quinn's name for good." -- Book jacket. |
