This deadly dark
Lee Wilson, Dodd, Mead & Company (Editorial), Cornwall Press (Impresor)
Matt Foster, a police reporter in San Francisco, receives an anonymous tip about the recent murder of a local merchant and, when he goes to meet the source, is viciously attacked and blinded by a knife-wielding assailant. The tipster, a young man named Spud Hollis, is quickly arrested for both the murder and the attack. Even though Foster is convinced of Spud's guilt, he agrees to keep investigating at the insistence of R.B. Clancy, a new girl in town, up from Los Angeles where she works for a Hollywood news magazine. With Clancy acting as his eyes, Foster begins to suspect that Spud is being set up as the fall guy as he uncovers details about a local gangster and a numbers racket. Foster is able to turn his disability into an advantage during the climactic fight with the killer in a darkened, windowless room
