Crime of Violence

0/5 ( ratings)

Horace Worthington's murder brought under the police searchlight the Hartney Pine family with its involved background and relationships. Mr.s Hartney Pine, who thought herself a law unto herself, fought Valcour's investigation of the case with lies, deception and guile. she was a woman willing to sell her young daughter in marriage to Worthington in order to insure her dipsomaniac son a life of wealth. She was capable of anything--except deceiving Valcour. Mrs. Pine did not know the meaning of the phrase "cadaveric spasm" and Valcour did. And so, with the aid of a small diamond, some pieces of lint, and a cup, Valcour was able to solve the confused case that came to a dramatic conclusion only after Valcour amiably offered to share with the murderer his glass of milk.
