“The band played on. Upstairs, the Blind Owl was shot.”

They called Mickey Doyle the Blind Owl: he saw everything and wrote it down. One of three people in his book shot him. Find out by dawn.

The suspects

Three names in his book.

01Vera LaneSingerHis singer. New York wants to record her, but her contract is in his book, beside a name she never uses.
02Eddie CorsoFormer partnerHis old partner. In the book for two hundred dollars, borrowed for his daughter’s wedding on Saturday.
03Frank MuldoonDockhand and locksmithHe installed Doyle’s safe and knows the building. Doyle owes him forty-five dollars: the first month’s rent on a shop of his own.

One night. One killer.

03Name the killer.Two tries. Miss twice and the case goes cold.
