CHAPTER I. DEATH AWAITS
"THERE'S the spot. Ease in."

The rakish sedan came to a sharp stop. The driver had responded instantly to the voice of the man
beside him. The car turned and rolled into a parking space between two old buildings.

The driver, with a deft turn of the wheel, backed the sedan against a wall. He turned off the motor and
extinguished the lights. Silent, sullen men listened in the darkness.

While they waited, their watching eyes were turned toward the street. Taxicabs and other vehicles rolled
by, following the narrow thoroughfare that formed a straight line through New York's upper East Side.

This was an old district of Manhattan. It was filled with buildings which had once been pretentious
homes, but which had now been altered into apartment houses of a cheaper sort. It was the type of
district where one might expect to find an idle automobile, lying in wait for some unknown purpose. This
fact accounted for the precaution of the men in the sedan. Their leader, the man beside the driver, was
anxious to make sure that the car was not under surveillance.

Satisfied, at last, that he and his men were unobserved, the leader began to speak in a low growl. His
instructions were terse and specific.
