About This Book

A New York detective receives a telegram and travels to Boston to investigate a suspicious death. He finds a small glass vial in the snow and, at a Dorchester mansion, examines the corpse of an elderly man whose son suspects foul play after receiving an anonymous letter alleging murder. The detective discovers a hat pin and the broken point of a hypodermic needle at the wrist, learns that morphine injections had been administered by the family physician, and probes family secrets and possible blackmail while insisting on full disclosure to resolve the case.
