Day Of Doom: The Complete Battles Of Gordon Manning & The Griffin, Volume 2 - Plot & Excerpts
Dawn was not far away, but his sleeping chamber was still dark and the light outside the open windows was a deep purple.He could afford to sleep with open windows these nights, with the Griffin insane and safely incarcerated. Yet, instantly alert, Manning noted the time, five thirty, on the luminous dial of the clock on his bedside table as he picked up the instrument.The message was from the chief police commissioner, New York City.“Manning? This is Melleny speaking. Something strange has happened: a double killing, or at least a double death, on Park Avenue. A local doctor was called in for one—a woman. The precinct captain has been there and two men from the Central Office. I’ve just got the report. The whole thing is almost incredible. It seems a baffling mystery, especially the cause of death. Manning, if I wasn’t sure the Griffin is safely put away—and to make sure he is I just called Dannemora—I’d feel certain that cunning devil was up to his old devices.”For a moment Manning had also wondered whether the Griffin, in some satanic trick, had not got away once more.
