Reeve, Arthur B. (Arthur Benjamin), 1880-1936

"Guy Garrick"

I wish you success, all right. It's a hard case.
Why, there wasn't any trace of a murder or violence in that place
in which Rena Taylor must have been murdered. I suppose you have
heard that there wasn't any bullet found in the body, either?"
"Yes," answered Garrick, "so far it does look inexplicable."
Inspector Herman withdrew. One could see that he had little faith
in these "amateur" detectives.
A telephone message for Dillon about another departmental matter
terminated our interview and we went our several ways.
"Much help I've ever got from a regular detective like Herman,"
remarked Garrick, phrasing my own idea of the matter, as we paid
the fare of our cab a few minutes later and entered his office.
"Yes," I agreed. "Why, he's even stumped at the start by the
mystery of there being no bullet. I'm glad you said nothing about
the cartridge, although I can't see for the life of me what good
it is to us."
I had ventured the remark, hoping to entice Garrick into talking.
