Publisher's Synopsis
 
Meet Captain Duncan Maclain.  Blinded in the First World War,  Maclain made up for his lack of vision by sharpening his other senses and mastering the subtleties often missed by those who could see only with their eyes. Aided by his dogs Schnucke and Driest,  he made a name for himself as New York City's most sought-after private detective.  And now, in the early days of WW II, he finds himself working for Uncle Sam once again.
The murder of an actor in his Greenwich Village apartment would cause a stir no matter the circumstances but, when the actor happens to possess secret government plans and when those plans go missing along with the young woman with whom he was last seen,  it's sensational enough to interest not only the local Police put the American government as well. Dunclan Mclain is on the case, but to solve it, he'll have to confront a world in which treasonous men and patriots are indistinguishable to the naked eye.
