Synopsis:
Featuring Gilbert Larose.
(extract)
It was a silent house, as still and silent as the grave.
Its door had never opened, he had seen no faces from its window and no smoke had ever issued from its chimneys--yet in the falling light of dusk that evening it had flashed to him, as lightning flashes through the blackness of a midnight sky, that human beings were in hiding there.
And their hiding had been the closer because they had seen him watching.
Then they were evil-doers--they were creatures of crime.
