Summary
A politician is murdered. Was he also a criminal? Clumsy, well-meaning lawyer Jack Knox tries to unravel the puzzling clues, which include missing pearls and a message with the numbers “11-22”. He's assisted by a pair of delightful old maids and a beautiful girl, but Knox is no detective and he is in a race against time. The puzzle of The White Cat - the name of a back-street political club serving beer and, occasionally, murder - is tricky.
