Description: Two puzzling mysteries with Inspector Norton Kane of the Boston police. In the first, a stock exchange gambler trying to climb the social ladder is murdered, but the only clear suspect would surely not have committed such a faux pas. Then, a young man living in a boarding house claims someone is working against him; his body is found to prove it.
