Oblivious to the traffic, a blue Chrysler roadster tears down the street, hops the curb, and slams to a halt. The car is empty, its driver thrown half a block back. He&#39;s stone dead, his cigarette still burning, and a noose tied tight around his neck.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>First on the scene is Detective Oscar Piper, followed closely by Hildegarde Withers, a schoolmarm with more than a passing interest in crime.
