OverviewThe murder of a beautiful actress sets the stage for a puzzling mystery combined with escalating action, as master criminologist Christopher Hand and his sidekick-narrator Ralph Clark confront a shadowy criminal gang. The villains' motivation for targeting a wealthy businessman remains murky as Hand and Clark attempt to sort through a range of suspicious characters, until a showdown on a 'haunted island' off the coast of Maine brings the adventure to a dangerous climax. ""In spite of the fact that Mr. Page takes familiar material for his story, his adept handling of it results in a story with a distinctive style and with an eye to characterization as well as to plot. The suspense is particularly well maintained until the closing chapter of the book.""
