Description

Detective Herbert Burroughs is called to West Sedgwick to investigate the murder of Joseph Crawford, a wealthy man found shot in his own home. The most substantial piece of evidence is a gold bag which has been left at the scene of the crime.

Among the suspects are Crawford’s niece Florence Lloyd and her fiancé Gregory Hall—a liaison which Crawford disapproved of. Before his death, Crawford often threatened to remove Lloyd from his will unless she broke off her engagement to Hall, and Crawford was in fact already in the process of doing so at the time of his death.

During his investigation, Burroughs rapidly falls in love with Lloyd and tries to prove her innocence, while remaining suspicious of Hall, who repeatedly refuses to provide an alibi for where he was the night of the crime. After following seemingly every possible clue to the killer’s identity, Herbert Burroughs’ idol, Fleming Stone, a master of deduction, is called upon to help solve this difficult case.
