The Medical Examiner testified that the shot could have been fired by his own hand. But the old butler, Gillespie, scoffs at the idea of suicide. He knows what he knows. “... Caught red-handed. Yes! The two of them together. And blood on his hands! Let them squirm and lie. The truth will out. Even if Mr. Valentine did drag in the smart red-headed detective, Mr. Peter Clancy. But of course he wanted to protect his sister. And if she was in it, so was Mr. James, mind you. And no one but a man’s own old faithful servant to see that justice was done! The master never killed himself, mark you. His sudden death was not suicide but—MURDER!” Lee Thayer’s latest is a thrilling and fiendishly ingenious story—the mystery of the minute.
