Cross Marks the Spot : Stories of Crime & Detection Vol 6

Reporter Julian Mendoza, ‘the bloodhound of Fleet Street,’ sees Cicely Foster flee the building in which Jacob Singerman lives, looking distressed and frightened.

When he discovers the movie mogul has been murdered and her blood-spattered glove and opened purse found at the scene of the crime, he tracks her down, telling her that Singerman was found dead shortly after her departure.

It looks bleak…but for the small matter of the corpse having been found with a bullet between his eyes.
