Bobby Brown''s grandfather is murdered and no one knows how did the killer enter the locked room? Excerpt: "The night of his grandfather''s mysterious death at the Cedars, Bobby Blackburn was, at least until midnight, in New York. He was held there by the unhealthy habits and companionships which recently had angered his grandfather to the point of threatening a disciplinary change in his will. As a consequence he drifted into that strange adventure which later was to surround him with dark shadows and overwhelming doubts."

The Guarded Heights is the story of George Morton as he struggles to make it big and rise from his humble background. The Straight Path narrates the story of Freddy as he struggles to accommodate the demands of his visiting but overbearing mother. Excerpt: "George Morton never could be certain when he first conceived the preposterous idea that Sylvia Planter ought to belong to him. The full realization, at any rate, came all at once, unexpectedly, destroying his dreary outlook, urging him to fantastic heights, and, for that matter, to rather curious depths. It was, altogether, a year of violent change. After a precarious survival of a rural education he had done his best to save his father''s livery business which cheap automobiles had persistently undermined. He liked that, for he had spent his vacations, all his spare hours, indeed, at the stable or on the road, so that by the time the crash came he knew more of horses and rode better than any hunting, polo-playing gentleman he had ever seen about that rich countryside."

Miller ignores the warning about visiting a haunted island and soon mysterious things begin to occur with his friends! Excerpt: "Captain''s Island is not far from civilisation as one measures space. Dealing with the less tangible medium of custom, it is-or was-practically beyond perception. James Miller didn''t know this. When he had thought at all of his friend Anderson''s new winter home he had pictured the familiar southern resort with hotels and cottages sheltering Hammonds peerage, and a seductive bathing beach to irritate the conservative."

Detective Garth and his daughter Nora are supernatural mystery hunter and on a mission to find schemers and hoaxers! Excerpt: "Garth, in response to the unforeseen summons, hurried along the hallway and opened the inspector''s door. As he faced the rugged figure behind the desk, and gazed into those eyes whose somnolence concealed a perpetual vigil, his heart quickened. He had been assigned to the detective bureau less than six months. That brief period, however, had revealed a thousand eccentricities of his chief. The pudgy hand beating a tattoo on the table desk, the lips working at each other thirstily, the doubt that slipped from behind the veil of the sleepy eyes, were all like largely printed letters to Garth-letters that spelled delicate work for him, possibly an exceptional danger."
