Synopsis:
There have been two murders — a man named Boswick, killed in the foyer of his apartment house, and a woman named Lois Chester, killed in the bedroom of her hotel apartment. Both were shot with the same murder weapon, owned by a man who sends anonymous letters to his victims and calls himself The Secret One. Weston finds a connection — both victims worked on the atomic research of the Manhattan Project. After careful examination of the letters, Lamont figures out the mystery. Thomas Densing is a poor old creature writing childish letters to avenge imagined insults. Unfortunately, one letter he wrote contained the truth about Philip Ives, an administrator for the postal service who took the threat as real and acted at once. He read the letters as they came through the post office and murdered the people he thought would most likely uncover his secret past. Ives and Densing are taken into custody — the latter at police headquarters clamoring for pen, ink and stationery as he writes a letter addressed to The Shadow, threatening to pay him back for his insolence.
