A scientific criminal threatens New York, and Inspector Hines must again work with the inventive scientist Schaaf to counter an attack that ordinary police methods cannot easily stop. Unusual optical effects, disguises and technical improvisations turn the pursuit into a contest over what people can see and trust.
Published in Argosy in 1929 as a complete novelette and a sequel to The Darkness on Fifth Avenue, the story mixes urban suspense with speculative inventions. The ebook preserves the full five-chapter narrative and Howard V. Brown’s illustrations, along with the matching original magazine issue cover.
