Summary:

Deborah, under suspicion, returns alone to the scene where a gaudy diva was murdered- to the house on the rooftop of a Chicago apartment building. " She reached the roof and emerged at the opening of the parapet wall. Flat, black, and dirty. Chimneys, incinerators, ventilators. The house itself, dark and dingy and passive. Nothing moved. . . . No sound except, away below, the murmur of a passing automobile. . . . Quite suddenly she realized that if she had removed the threat of the police she had also removed their protection." In a few moments she will face sheer dizzying horror.
