T e SYNOPSIS: Fear and suspi- cion are obessions on the island estate of the hated, wealthy Dan Parados. Allan Hunt, who comes to check on Parados’ art collection; is puzzled by a sense of foreboding and queer behav- ior by everyone in the house. At dinner that night the gu play a “game of murder,” with Parados, who is absent, the person who is supposed to b been killed. Anatole Fligue, French detective, whose pres- ence is unexpla ads “game,” with everyone denying guilt. Flique suddenly tells them that Parados actuaily was mur- dered shortly before dinner. The “game” in a moment be- comes reality. Parados is found dead in his library, shot in the heart, a 35-cent price tag in his hand. Samucls, deputy dis- trict attorney, and his aides begin a grim search for clews. Chapter 8 CAROLINE DEFENDS HERSELF Samuels began to write in a notebook. I looked from one to an- other.

It's my opin- fon a silencer was used.

Yes, I'd look into the revenge| motive. The Brent collection has| not been touched and the safe] hasn't been broken into. Dan has a host of enemies.” Samuels nodded. “That brings me | back to you people. This is just as} likely to be an inside job as an| ontside job.” He paused. “I shall want to know what each of you, was doing between half-past six and | seven. If any of you have got| anything on your minds, get ready to throw it off.” The doctor drew a rug over the! body. “Mr. Parados owned all of San; Lucas, didn't he” Samuels asked.) “yes” Mrs. Parados answered. “Any one else live on the island?” | “No.” “What about the fis on the east side?” “1t's abandoned.

Dan never could stand heat.” Samuels addressed himself to Caroline again. “I do not accuse you of killing Parados, M Brent,” he said forcefully, “but if you did kill him, you had better come through. You've got a strong motive. Come through now, and you'll get ac- quittal.” Caroline breathed deeply. “I did not kill Mr. Parados,” she said in a tense voice. “Fine!” Samuels exclaimed. “Now answer this questiop. Where were you between six-thirty and seven this evening?” “I was in the boathouse waiting for the young man who runs the launch, between half-past five and six,” Caroline replied steadily. “It began to get dark around six and I climbed up the cliff and sat on a rock for about an hour. It was there that the idea of making a last attempt to get possession of the portrait came to me. But I am glad I tried.” “Did you see anybody while you were sitting there?” “No.” Samuels nodded. “That's all. You remain on the island until I give you permission to leave.” (Copyright, 1930, William Morrow and Company.) Alibis! Nearly everyone has some excuse.
