THURSDAY, JUNE 2; 1 ‘The story So Far: Quanomet ts aroused when its citizens are cari- catured in the post office mural. The next night the artist’s wife, unscrupulous Marina Lorne, is murdered with her sister's knife. Pamela Frye appeals to Asey Mayo, Cape Cod detective, tell- ing him she found $50,000, worth of ambergris which Marina tried to claim, and hid it after dis- covering Marina dead in the garage, Because Asey indicates that sameone near them, smok- ing Turkish tobacco, is listening, Pam announces a false hiding- place for the ambergris. As soon as the mysterious listener creeps into the woods, police cars arrive. Chapter Six Left Handed Killer “you can’t get up the path, now —Pam, will you take a duh: in’? Till we see what they’re—” “Asey!” It was Hanson, the po- lice lieutenant, who yelled. “Up to,” Asey finished swiftly “Get in the water, keep under the wharf, out of sight. Can you?” “FU try it. Take this,” she passed, t over a slip of paper that he knew was the agreement Marina had written on the ambergris sharing. “Quick—” *She'slid over the wharf and into y the water as Hanson yelled again. “Asey! Asey Mayo! For heaven’ 's sake, why can't he—Asey!” “Hello!” Asey said, Blinn i a flashlight hit ne full in t) face! “Tryin’ to blind me, Hanson, or bust my ear drums?” “Asey,” Hanson said, “we'ye got some new business for you.
