The Marceau Case. Harry Stephen Keeler

"The Babe from Hell!" gasped Andre Marceau just as the wire rightened around his neck. A second later he lay sprawled on the ground – dead. Close by his body were the tracks of tiny footsteps, beginning nowhere and leading nowhere…the only clues to one of the most shocking crimes of the Twentieth Century!<P> That was the beginning of a mystery that Scotland Yark sleuths worked on frantically for two years and then abandoned in despair, without a solution. Yet it was to be solved, not by a detective, but by a resourceful and imaginative American newspaper man, who tracked down an overlooked clue and reopened the case. The thread of Destiny which brought a horrible death to Andre Marceau stretched through Europe to Japan and Australia and even America!
