☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Vanished Clue" follows Detective Richard Manning as he investigates a case involving a man named Link Braden, a horse player with gambling debts suspected of involvement in criminal activity. When Braden appears to be framed and Manning discovers the real culprits are two racketeers named Tony and Ralph operating an extortion scheme, the detectives pursue them in a climactic chase that ends with the criminals' store being destroyed in an explosion. The story resolves with the wrongfully accused man vindicated and the corrupt scheme dismantled.
Public Defender Richard Manning finds himself caught between a desperate man and a dangerous secret when he agrees to help prove that Link Braden didn't commit the crime he's been accused of—but the real culprit, Harlow Bates, will stop at nothing to keep Manning from uncovering the truth hidden in his personal records. As Manning races against time to gather evidence, he discovers that the key to Braden's innocence lies in the smallest details of a man's character, not in the crimes he's accused of.
When public defender Richard Manning takes on the case of Joe Astrig, a man arrested for robbing a bookie, he uncovers a web of underworld revenge—but a gunman's bullets silence his client before the full truth can emerge, leaving behind only a desperate message scrawled on a steamy mirror. Now Manning must piece together the vanished clue and track down the real culprit behind the killing in this gripping detective tale from Tales of the Underworld.
