''Murder t HiohtClub Lady'’ THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY by ANTHONY ABBOT ■„ c°\

COPYJUOHr,19M. BYCOWCl-FRIEDE INC.PlSTfUBUreDBY KINeriAUtRBS SYNDIC*.tE,INC

PREFACE

The Crime Without a Parallel If crime may he said to have a technic, one of its masterpieces was that singular series of mysteries oound up with the name of Lola Cavewe, sometimes called the "Night Club Lady.” In cold patience and during long years, this fantastic plot Svas hatched. Conceived in audacity, and executed with rare boldness and dispatch, it was almost the perfect crime. At the time of this bizarre excitement, as some will remember, 1 was confidential secretary to Thatcher t’olt, then Police Commissioner of Greater New York. In the Uarewe case we encountered a problem unique and terrifying, a deadly enigma which Colt solved when to •he rest of us all avenues of investigation appeared empty. Yet in the Carewe mysteries, as 1 ,n his other investigations. Thatch ♦r Colt employed no miraculous fifts. He resorted to no magic ex•ept applied intelligence, relying in variably on strict police practice .ndustry, patience, perseverance, and the organized use of all avail able assistance, including the cooperation of scientists and their laboratories. As everyone know actual police work is seldom a gai ish exhibition of spectacular deduc tion. Crimes are solved and male factors arrested by the use of common sense, persisted in until adventurous logic looks like inspiration

■PRECISELY at eleven - thirty lr,. clock on that snow-blown New Year’s Eve, Thatcher Colt reached the Rilz Carlton Hotel. Through the revolving doors in East Forty - sixth Street hastened the Police Commissioner, immaculate in evening array and top hat. His large black eyes brightened when he found me waiting for him in the

tiny red foyer.

“Sorry to pull you away from your family celebration, Tony,” he apologized. “Hope your wife isn’t cross with me for ringing you up?” “We both realized it must lie
