The mundane life of a private investigator is interrupted to find and buy a pearl necklace, but what if the dame it might be attached to doesn’t want to be found? Leaving his classy office building, Barry chats with the elderly elevator operator. What information might he have about the new client, or his ex-wife?
Paying a call on Mrs Harper, Barry finds her corpse in the otherwise bright and modern penthouse apartment. A jealous boyfriend is fended off while waiting for the cops to arrive. Is there any sign of a pearl necklace? The trail leads to an ivy covered house, and Mrs Kendal, the wife of Barry’s new client. She not only knows about the necklace, but she has it in her possession.
A gunshot, a scream, and the body count rises. Barry finds himself in a cab, racing to a quiet cottage on the sound. Why is there a car following him? What will John Kendal have to say when Barry reports his findings thus far? Barry shares the story from his perspective, and the set up he has found himself in. Will his hasty trap work?
The cops arrive, and Barry may have some explaining to do. Making a fast get away, Barry and John still have a way to go in unravelling a mystery. A confrontation with Mrs Kendal should get all the dirty laundry out in the open.
