Red Mask #46

A wealthy man is shot dead in his locked room with a mysterious flash of light, and suspicion falls on his nephew—but Redmask grows uneasy when the evidence seems almost too tidy. Hunting for answers in the dead man's collection of old photography equipment, Redmask uncovers a ghost picture that could expose the real killer, leading him to a desperate scheme involving a fortune in gold and a secretary with everything to lose.

When the new schoolteacher Gwendolyn Ames witnesses a stagecoach robbery and identifies the culprit as the respectable rancher Jim Emerson, she finds herself caught in a deadly web—no one believes her, and worse, someone wants her silenced. As Redmask investigates the puzzling string of holdups, he must untangle why a calm, trained observer's testimony points to an impossible culprit, and what really lies behind the mystery of the girl who saw double.

The Ghost Rider rides deliberately into the outlaws' stronghold after the brutal Mike Doom and his gang stage a daring courtroom escape, vowing to show the territory that justice still matters. Doom boasts that his valley hideout is impregnable and that no one dares follow, but the masked avenger has other plans—and tricks—up his sleeve. With cunning, nerve, and a few well-placed surprises, the Ghost Rider sets out to prove that even the most fearless gang can be brought to account.
