Uncle Cosmo wins the lottery to the tune of millions of dollars. After making extensive travel plans, he gives his automotive repair business to his nephew, out-of-work English instructor Charles Carstairs.

Mixing humor with a plausible story, Beck, author of Murder in a Mummy Case , has written another pleasant mystery. JV
