Dick Kent on Special Duty

"Dick Kent on Special Duty" by M. M. (Milo Milton) Oblinger is a story about Corporal Rand, a member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, whose investigation is ignited by a series of crimes beginning with a robbery attempt on a sleeping prospector named Dewberry. The quest to untangle a web of deceit leads Rand to the mysterious death of Louis Frischette, a road-house keeper, which is further complicated by the involvement of dubious characters like "Rat" MacGregor and Frischette's half-breed wife. In this high-stakes pursuit, Rand must look carefully at a tangled sequence of occurrences and deceptive clues, including the legitimacy of suicide notes, to solve the intertwined cases of theft, murder, and concealed motivations.
