β¦ Synopsis
OCR from a cbz file. Proofed, formatted, v.1.5.
Dr. Peter Merritt, of New Rochelle, went to the West Coast at the request of his sister-in-law, stood in at the first murder, got mixed up in others, and generally supped full on horrors. Detective is Daniel Webster, of whom we are told: "He was always watching what was going on in the world around him, so that you had the feeling that he was not paying attention, and yet he was not missing a thing. Very odd.β Odd is right, but he finds out whodunit. Some of the scenes have a big mystery impact!
