Asey Mayo, Cape Cod detective, learns cer ain facts. Pam. Frye tells him she found $50,000 worth of ambergris which Marina tried to claim, and hid it after discovering the mur- der. She disappears from Asey’s house realizing that an unknown person, who smokes Turkish to- bacco, is trailing her to learn the whereabouts of the ambergris.

Nobody likes him, but he ain’t what you'd call bad. He isn’t so horrid. Asey just sort of slow thinkin’ if you know what I mean. Not stupid, but slow.
