Book Description
Paul Craine should have known better than to interest himself in how and why someone, with the aid of a revolver, had introduces Mr. Sandeman to the hereafter. It was a puzzling sort of murder because there were almost no clues, but Mr. Sandeman was no loss to society, and Paul should have thought more seriously about certain things that happened before that fatal night in the Brooklyn apartment house. Things that might suggest to the police that Paul had a motive for wishing the murderee dead...Detective Rocheleau was not the man, as Paul very well knew, to leave any loose ends dangling - short of the noose.
But something about the very dexterity of the killing proves irresistable to Paul's passion for amateur investigation. His hunches, supported by the merest traces of evidence, lead him along a dim trail and into some uncomfortable places. One of them is outside a certain tenement flat door in the dark. In the lightless room on the other side of it Paul knows there is a man, somebody who bubbles horribly when he breathes.
