Philo Vance #92, "Nylon Murder Case," District Attorney Markham calls upon Philo Vance to investigate a series of high-society robberies plaguing prominent citizens. A well-organized gang of female thieves has been infiltrating parties and stealing furs, jewelry, and cash from the wealthy elite. The tension within the gang runs deep as Doris and another member clash repeatedly, with leader Grace struggling to maintain control. The situation escalates when Grace reveals she's brought in Sally Jo Russell, a woman wanted by police for murder, to help with their biggest job yet.
Meanwhile, Doris successfully executes a solo heist by faking an accident and getting carried into Mrs. Williams' mansion, where she steals a blonde mink coat and escapes through French windows while a policeman calls for an ambulance. When Vance interviews Mrs. Williams during one of her massage sessions with Florette, he learns an important clue: the thief left behind a torn stocking. As tensions within the gang reach a boiling point and nearly turn deadly, Grace must keep her volatile team together long enough to pull off their most ambitious crime.
