Milo Sullivan gathers mob bosses for capital investments in crime, half a million in planning and preparation nets a million in furs from a hijacking. Ness investigates two suspects, one is hounded for the loan he took out to set up a front as an insurance agent, and then his widow. The other, who actually took part in the robbery by slugging and then murdering a guard, is kept waiting six months for his pay, and finally given a pittance. He resolves to rob the bank (which is a secret back room at The Family Music Shop, owned by Sullivan) and is about to be gotten rid of when the squad arrives. Still bloody from his beating, the hood picks up a pistol to join his captors in a shootout with Ness, who takes Sullivan in and his ledger full of names.
