This Is Suspense #24

1955-04-01 · 36 pages

An anthology of suspense stories featuring "A Short Step to Oblivion," in which a condemned man on death row claims innocence and asserts that a man in a white robe, whom he's seen in the city, is the real killer; Detective Holiday investigates the evidence and searches for this mysterious figure. Ruth Davies, wife of the man accused of the crime, seeks out the bartender who may hold clues and eventually tracks down a suspect in a boarding house, only to discover the killer strikes again before justice can be served. The issue also includes a hospital-set story involving nurses and patients in peril from a heating oil fire threat.
