This book is story of the turn of the 20th century our narrator wants to clear his father's name and needs to speak with the Blind Man. The Blind Man is an immensely powerful and wealthy old lawyer who organizes monopolies and trusts. The narrator follows the Blind man from Seattle to St Paul to Chicago by train, hoping to get an audience. Someone tries to kill the Blind Man. Who could it be? Suddenly our narrator is in danger, for he'll be suspect 1 if caught. MacHarg is much less critical of big shots and less inventive in this book than in his Luther Trant psychological detective stories, and less sappy than in his O'Malley police stories.
