Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Man With the Rake
A dark form, half-crouching, moved swiftly and stealthily through the bushes that surrounded the house. As he approached the porch he halted a mo ment and looked about warily; then he cautiously ascended the steps. Through the darkness he groped to the door. There was a low, rasping sound, the click of a bolt was heard, and the next instant the dark figure passed inside.
