A gang of criminals devise a scheme to defraud insurance companies by faking heart attacks. Their plot includes a method of altering cardiograms, a relatively new diagnostic tool in 1931, the setting of this story.

Downing must match his ingenuity against theirs with an unimaginable threat lurking at his every move.
