The Blind Leading the Blind

It’s April 1955, and an explosion rips through the Meier and Frank Department Store in Portland. The store’s owner, Aaron Frank, is shocked. Even more so when he is handed an extortion letter, promising a bigger blast the following day. The bomber does offer one way out though. He will provide the location of the second explosive device and instructions on how to dismantle it safely. All Aaron Frank has to do is cough up $50,000… Detective Bill Browne is the man tasked with finding the bomber.
