The Case of the Poaching Gipsy

2 pp

Brett Marlowe and his chauffeur Rusty Race are weekend guests at the country estate when they stumble upon a poaching mystery—dead rabbits, a discarded gun, and whispers of a jewel theft all point to a traveling gipsy named Joe. But the famous detective quickly discovers that appearances are deceiving, and the real culprit is far closer to home than anyone suspected. A clever bit of detective work involving a hollowed-out cartridge exposes the truth behind the frame-up.
