Burnham: The Telltale Telegram

Gary Gilbert, a ‘parlor snake,’ is about to marry Marcia Allen for her money, but before the announcement at Marcia’s house party, Gary is found with a knife in his chest. Criminologist O. W. Wimble and assistant Corey are visiting California when a young (and attractive) journalist, Janet, convinces them to investigate the murder. Together, they find a puzzling mystery, suspects trying to protect each other, a blackmail plot, and a frame job. O.W. has his work cut out for him to find the culprit within a week. Corey has a greater challenge—will he change his mind about attractive young women?
