In "The Basin Ranch Mystery," Roy arrives in Belmore seeking answers after the murder of a close friend’s son, only to discover the man’s father, Pa Pendleton, dead in the same brutal fashion—riddled with knife slashes and no trace of the assailant. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Al Micale, this 1947 mystery unfolds with quiet tension, as Roy pieces together a crime that feels both personal and eerily deliberate. The cover by Al Micale captures the stark isolation of the ranch, setting a tone of suspense that lingers long after the first page.
