As "Stuart Towne" he created a second magician detective named Don Diavolo. In <i>Death from Nowhere</i> (originally published in a pulp magazine as <i>The Claws of Satan</i>), a murderer attempts to make his victims appear to have been attacked by an animal. The murder method is actually... Oh, no. I can't do that. But if you know Cornell Woolrich's book <i>Black Alibi</i> you may catch on. And, of course, a clever study of the cover (as you noted) gives away part of the answer.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-83008750925924464622011-05-26T02:20:33.697-05:002011-05-26T02:20:33.697-05:00Rick -
