Sobre IBD

From the author of The Trial of Mary Dugan comes this riveting tale of murder in New York City. A series of murders involving the deft stabbing of innocent young girls has the press and populace howling for action. No one, from the Commissioner and Chief Inspector to the lowliest detective of the force, has a clue toward solving the crimes, despite their access to the latest crime-solving equipment and techniques. It falls to Captain Wilson, an officer of the old school, to devise a trap for the tiger. And Wilson knows just the right bait to use . . .Bayard Veiller (1869-1943) was an American author, screenwriter, and director known for his work in early 20th-century theater and film. Specializing in crime dramas and suspenseful narratives, Veiller gained widespread recognition for The Thirteenth Chair, a mystery play that was later adapted into multiple films. His works often featured sharp dialogue, intricate plots, and strong female characters, reflecting his ability to craft compelling courtroom dramas and psychological thrillers.
