Chapter I. THE SINISTER ONE
THERE was death afoot in the darkness.

It crept furtively along a steel girder. Hundreds of feet below yawned glass-and-brick-walled
cracksтАФNew York streets. Down there, late workers scurried homeward. Most of them carried
umbrellas, and did not glance upward.

Even had they looked, they probably would have noticed nothing. The night was black as a cave bat.
Rain threshed down monotonously. The clammy sky was like an oppressive shroud wrapped around the
tops of the tall buildings.

One skyscraper was under construction. It had been completed to the eightieth floor. Some offices were
in use.
Above the eightieth floor, an ornamental observation tower jutted up a full hundred and fifty feet more.
The metal work of this was in place, but no masonry had been laid. Girders lifted a gigantic steel
skeleton. The naked beams were a sinister forest.

It was in this forest that Death prowled.
