From the flyleaf: "The mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of "Peter Boots" are rendered more sinister and baffling by the wholly unaccountable messages that come from him. Genuine, because they recite intimate facts, these messages stun the friends of the dead man. This is a mystery story with a trap in it for the unwary, with suspense and excitement in plenty and a satisfying denouement."

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Even when Peter Crane was a baby boy, with eyes the color of the chicory flowers that grow by the wayside along New England roads, and hair that rivaled the Blessed Damosel's in being "yellow like ripe corn," he was of an adventurous disposition.
