THE CASE OF THE BECKONING DEAD

"It's the sign! The symbol of death. Someone in this room is marked for death!"

The ghostly voice pierced the stillness of the darkened seance room. There was a shuddering gasp as the audience, with one accord, caught the portent of those fateful words. Then there was silence--the ominous silence that comes from voiceless fear.

For they knew--this group of men and women who were gathered together in the interests of scientific occultism--that the oracle had spoken the truth. Four times the sign had been given. And four members of the Mystic Circle had died under strange circumstances. Seemingly, a ghastly chain was being forged, link by link; whether through psychical or physical powers, no one knew.

Into this seething whirlpool of mystery the inimitable Sergeant Johnny Lamb plunged and proved his mettle in a situation which, for a time, seemed to defy the best brains of Scotland Yard.
