Drake Roscoe of the United States Navy is on the trail of a mys- terious criminal band known as the Zones and directed by a chie called “Head Centre.” Roscoe® himsel/ is marked for death. With the aid of a friend, Dr. Stopford, he makes his in- vestigations. He thinks that he has seen ““Head Centre” when the latter dar- ingly appeared at a tea under the name of Gaston Pascal. Roscoe at the time remarked that the man bore a remark- able resemblance to Napoleon. Roscoe’s latest investigations take him to the home of Page Sutton, a wealthy man, who is the most recent object of attack. Sutton has two housg guests—Dr. Cross and Molly O'Hav, a friend of his daugh- ter June and the miece of the deputy police commissioner. Ned Regan, a pri- vate detective; Stopford and Roscoe complete the group. Sutton has in his possession a certain document regarding the Zomes and the attack om him is part of a campaign to recover this paver. Mme. Czerna, an agent of the Zones, has ‘made the acquaintance of Roscoe and Stopford. She is ordered to motor in the region of Sutton’s home, to disable her car and then to ask shelte for the night in order to ai Centre” in carrying out his ol ton, in anticipation of anm attack, taken every precaution for defense and has loosed a pack of Alsatian dogs on his RED light glowed in the dark- A ness of a silent room. 2 A just to hand vis H.

The corridor outside was empty. “Leave it that way,” said Roscoe. “Youre sure”—turning to the host— “we can't be overheard here?” “Not with the windows shut.” " " Roscoe nodded. “As for your household: Your guest, Dr. Cross? You have chatted with him, Stopford? “I certainly have,” Stopford replied. “He's sound enough. I mean he knows medicine in the Harvard sense. I'm not suggestin’ for a moment”—he removed his monocle and burnished it carefully— “I'm not suggestin’ for one moment that he'd ever have qualified at Oxford! Ned Regan laughed loudly. “Good for Oxford!” said his host. “But the point is, you have no doubts whatever of Cross. They'd be ridiculous, of course, anyway.” “Not a spot of dubt” Stopford re- turned. “He's a practicin’ sawbones, take my word for it.

Christopoulos closed the door. “You know Comdr. Drake Roscoe,” Regan went on. “This is Dr. Stopford. And now, gentlemen, I want you to meet one of the best men in my bu- reau—Robert Bach!
