Minard Hendricks Hunts a Murderer in an Italian Box Scheme
Detective Minard Hendricks returns from Boston to unravel an unsigned letter directing him to Caruthers’ apartments where a cremated body and jeweled hand are found. Dorothy Huntington recalls a feud with Arthur Glelow over her hand, while hypnotist Count Bantiani and occultist Kola loom as suspects.
