When an abandoned getaway car and a blood-smeared handkerchief appear near an exclusive sanitarium, the Case Twins must prove the facility is an escape hub for criminals before the FBI's one shot to shut it down slips away. Dan and Paul Case are not policemen. They're twins with a sketchbook and a pickup, with a talent for stumbling into trouble. While sketching, artist Dan discovers a dusty dark Ford Super Deluxe, complete with a blood-stained handkerchief in the seat, near Windcliff Sanitarium. When he finds out the FBI is after a nationwide syndicate which helps fugitives escape, his curiosity spirals into suspicion. Does Windcliff - outwardly a sanctuary for high-society convalescents - hide a grimmer commerce of plastic surgeons and private ambulances helping crooks buy new faces and vanish? Dan and his boxer brother, Paul, find more than they bargained as they dig deeper: bandaged men, a hearse used as a decoy, and faces that do not belong to the names on the charts. When detective Steve Barton pokes around, he vanishes. With the federal agents stretched thin and time to locate Steve running out, the twins must outwit professionals who market new identities as a service.

It's a race to expose a fugitive pipeline before everyone involved disappears-paper records gone, memories bought, and the truth buried under the sanitarium's immaculate grounds. A fast-paced, clean, 1940s suspense featuring detectives, daring twins, heart and humor - perfect for fans of historical crime thrillers. Follow the Case Twins on their fifth adventure as they delve into Windcliff's darkest secrets.
