In "The Man Who Could Read Minds," a cunning efficiency expert manipulates corporate systems to streamline operations—only to exploit those same systems for criminal gain, posing as the mystic Centauri to guide his heists. Penciled and inked by Jay McArdle, this 1955 House of Mystery tale blends psychological intrigue with a twisty, deceptive premise. The cover, by Bill Ely, captures the eerie allure of the charlatan’s guise.
