John Putnam Thatcher For a widower of about sixty, John Putnam Thatcher keeps very active. Senior Vice-Presi-dent of the Sloan Guaranty Trust Co., he plays tennis, goes hiking, and solves mysteries in the eastern United States. This urbane sleuth began as an expert on stocks, bonds, and trusts. He has become equally knowledgeable regarding murder, which should not be too surprising, since greed, with which he is familiar, has always been a prime cause of murder. Thatcher has surrounded himself with an interesting group of associates, ranging from aging Wall St. playboys to a serious, prissy secretary. |
