- The Shadow of the Wolf - Two men depart on a boat, but only one returns. What follows is one of the best examples of Thorndyke's method as he plays a deadly game with the player on the other side.
- The D'Arblay Mystery - A young doctor discovers a body in a pond. Was it an accident, or suicide, or murder? One thing is certain - the danger has not ended with just one death.
