The Fourteenth Man and the Ludington Case
A bank investigator pursues a tangled tale of Royal Ludington's unpaid note, a vanished daughter Grace Ludington, and a scheming Abel Vandamann. Resilius Marvel uncovers Edward Briggs as the Fourteenth Man, a frame up, and Idalia the deceiving force behind a web of forged notes and family shame. The case ends with Vandamann dead and Briggs facing consequences as the truth emerges.
