“The Sacred Fingers of Princess Thais”

In "The Sacred Fingers of Princess Thais," ski-jump sensation Irma Monroe is haunted by a vision of death before her daring performance at the New Hampshire Snowtop Lodge. As she races to New York to consult a psychiatrist, a mysterious skeletal phantom takes over her preparations—while her boyfriend frantically searches for answers. When Irma is found comatose after a fall down an elevator shaft, her recovery hinges on the voice of her lover in a moment of eerie, unresolved suspense. Penciled and inked by Maurice Gutwirth and George Appel, with a cover by Kenneth Rice, this 1955 Ace Magazines mystery blends cold mountain dread with uncanny coincidence.
