After a man dies in a car crash shortly after increasing his insurance, suspicion falls on his widow, who is strapped for cash because of the insurance company’s reluctance to pay and is then helped to get a job with a charity that assists ex-convicts in returning to society. At the same time, Scotland Yard investigates, as the death was one of a series that occurred to insured persons under suspicious circumstances in recent months, an investigation made all the more imperative after one of the policemen meets his doom. Brisk pacing adds to the interest of this West German Krimi, originally titled Die weiße Spinne.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.
