☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two stories: "Missing Diamonds," in which Detective Malone investigates the death of a man aboard a ship, uncovering that what appeared to be suicide was actually murder orchestrated by the victim's wife, who had planned to have him executed by electric chair to prevent him from benefiting from his own death; and "Secret of Edenford Castle," featuring a scientist and refugee named Dr. Harmon who is approached by international espionage operatives seeking his secret research on synthetic diamonds, leading to a plot to steal both his formulas and diamond samples.
Waldo Barnes boards the SS. Southern Cross bound for San Francisco, boasting loudly about the half-million-dollar inheritance waiting for him—and catching the attention of fellow passenger Gilbert Lansing, a struggling actor who bears an uncanny resemblance to him, as well as a mysterious young woman named Laura with her own designs on Waldo's newfound fortune. When a body surfaces in the ship's wake under suspicious circumstances, a U.S. Secret Service agent must unravel whether it's truly an accident or something far more sinister, with theft and murder swirling among the passengers.
