Synopsis

In The Paul Tracy Murder Case, Detective Danny Clover arrives at a jewelry shop on West 46th Street to investigate the murder of Paul Tracy.

A passerby heard the gunshots and called the police, but the motive remains unclear. As Clover examines the evidence, he finds a business license identifying the victim and an inventory book that may hold clues to the robbery.
