A SENSE of triumph was with him as he drove back to his own penthouse apartment. At last he had a definite plan which well might result in the capture of the brute. If the monster had made one attempt on Francis' life, it was reasonable to assume that he would make another; that the sailing would force his hand, compelling him to make his attack at once.

With this in mind, Van called the police again and requested that a cordon of plainclothes men be placed about the Thorpe town house. That would preclude an attack there, leaving only the boat as the scene where the monster could come face to face with Francis.

And that this would happen, he firmly believed. True, he was not sure of Francis. The man seemed honestly upset. Yet his complete indifference as to Murray's well-being, his failure to ask after his missing sister, might mean something entirely different from unstrung nerves.

Van frowned. If the monster did not make an attempt to get to Francis before the boat sailed, he realized that it might well mean that Thorpe was in league with the killer. In fact, things would inevitably point to the belief that Francis Thorpe was the killer himself.
