Die Industriellen-Tochter Kelly Morgan interessiert sich für Okkultismus und Totenbeschwörung. Eines Tages ist sie wie vom Erdbeben verschluckt. Dass sie tatsächlich zum Gespenst geworden ist, mag natürlich niemand wirklich glauben. Am allerwenigsten Bount Reiniger, der Privatdetektiv. Ein geheimnisvoller Brief taucht auf und führt Bount Reinigers Spur nach Arizona. Seit einiger Zeit geschehen dort mysteriöse Morde, die alle einem finsteren Ritual zugrunde zu liegen scheinen. Bount macht sich auf dem Weg ins sonnige Tuscon, um sich die Verhältnisse näher anzuschauen.

Bount Reiniger, der in Fachkreisen als bester Privatermittler von New York gilt, ist auf der Suche nach Ted Hughes, einem dreisten Hacker, der gerade einen großen Konzern in erhebliche Schwierigkeiten gebracht hat. Ted Hughes hat Produktdaten für Raketenteile gehackt. Reiniger muss ihn finden und die wertvollen Daten sicherstellen. Doch als er den jungen Hacker ausfindig macht, kann er nur noch den Tod des Mannes feststellen - kaltblütig ermordet durch einen Kopfschuss. Reiniger erkennt sofort, dass hier ein professioneller Auftragskiller am Werk war.

Bount Reiniger, dem der Ruf des intelligenten und furchtlosen Gentleman-Ermittlers vorauseilt, geht nur mit Widerwillen an die Aufklärung eines Mordfalls heran, bei dem das Opfer ein wenig zimperlicher Schnüffler namens Steve Tierney ist. Der Fall ist gewissermaßen ein Dienst unter Kollegen. Steve Tierneys letzter Wille ist laut Testament, dass Reiniger seinen Mord aufklären soll. Tierny hat also von seiner bevorstehenden Ermordung gewusst - oder zumindest solch mögliches Ende für wahrscheinlich gehalten. Sehr bald muss Reiniger erkennen, dass er besser die Finger von dem Fall gelassen hätte.

Als der Millionär Rory Keogh im Büro des berühmten Privatermittlers Bount Reiniger eintrifft, erwartet dieser nichts Böses.

Sein Sohn Jack ist seit 5 Wochen spurlos verschwunden. Keogh will, dass Reiniger den Sohn findet. Geld spielt in dieser Angelegenheit keine Rolle. Er überlässt Reiniger einen Blankoscheck, den er nach getaner Arbeit und eigenem Ermessen ausfüllen soll.

Eine Serie von Attentatsversuchen und Morden erschüttert New York. Die Opfer sind alle in den gehobenen Wirtschaftskreisen der Stadt bekannt.

Obwohl die Verbrechen eine gemeinsame Täterhandschrift zu tragen scheinen, findet die Polizei keine Verknüpfungspunkte zwischen den Opfern. Deshalb wird Privatdetektiv Bount Reiniger vom New York Police Departement darum gebeten, ebenfalls zu recherchieren. Reiniger, der sich selbst in den dunkelsten Ecken von New York auskennt, begibt sich auf Spurensuche.
