Hubbard: Murder at St. Dennis

“About all that remained of the ghost town, Gopher Gulch, was the hospital, St. Dennis of the Hills. In one of the rooms Big Balsam Cassidy, ruthless gold mine owner, lay in an iron lung gasping for breath. Marmion Pyus, young laboratory technician, was alone with Cassidy when the electric power went off and the lung stopped. She was seized with panic, for she sensed the presence of someone else in the dark room as the hated Cassidy died. A cold, calculating murderer wandered stealthily through the dim hospital corridors killing again and again until Marmion knew that she was to be the next victim. The old hospital is a perfect setting for this dramatic and chilling story.” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 1952)
