Detective Brett Marlowe witnesses a street performer called Morro kidnapped by two Indian sailors in broad daylight, sparking a chase that ends in mystery when the crooks vanish. With only a wrecked rowing-boat and the arrival of a cargo ship as clues, Brett begins to piece together why anyone would want to snatch a strong-man performer off the street. This 1953 tale by John Fordice turns a simple abduction into a puzzle that demands solving.
