Whispers – Louis Dodge – 1920

Description:

From its very start takes the reader into a strange and mysterious atmosphere in the heart of the City where a murder is committed in a costumer’s shop—a murder so startling that it sets the whole town astir. Then there enters upon the scene an apparent stranger to the city, one “Whispers,” a newspaperman with an uncanny way of analysing his fellow men and of following up strange clues, but possessed of a most peculiar voice, which was nothing more: than a “succession of whispers. Of the two rival newspapers the newcomer to Missouri City decides to join forces with the better paid but less prominent one and agrees with its editor to discover the perpetrators of the crime within forty-eight hours.
