He lacked imagination, a common fault of that type of sleuth who combines, more or less happily, a number eleven shoe and a number six hat. The only vital thing he had to go on was the fact that Miss Danbury was dead--murdered, in some mysterious, uncanny way. Vampires were something like that, weren't they? He shuddered a little.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
