Murder on the Mazatlan wharf ends with clues from a dead hand
In Mazatlan a murder plot unfolds as Hunt Rogers and Barry Madison pursue suspects in the Chatsfield family. A dying confession leaves Sam Chatfield as the prime suspect, while Reed Barton’s missing knife and a newspaper clipping point to Chesebro. Rogers exposes Rumble’s handwriting naming the party members and clears some, leading to a voyage aboard the Orizaba and onward to sea.
