Mystery of John Drane and the silent substitution
Dr Blessington outlines two major changes in John Drane after returning from California and six months later after Hot Springs. Brennan questions a possible female impersonator who could have taken Drane’s place, while the doctor notes the victim’s consistent appearance before and after. The discussion explores insanity, motives, and the likelihood of a long planned substitution.
