    About this ebook

    Up at Gumshoe Jack Lord's office, the phone rang. It was the police chief William Smart, Bill, that phoned and asked if Jack and Belle could take on another missing person case? I know they are not your favorite, but the daughter, Susan Wills, to a wealthy philanthropist, Allan Wills, did not come home last night, and the parents Allan and Ruth Wills were deeply worried. This is not like our daughter, explained Ruth Wills. Well, said Jack Lord. What do we know about her whereabouts from last night? Susan was out together with four friends, Three girls, and one boy. they are all old friends of Susan and have stayed here overnight several times. I am looking at the door all the time expecting her to come home, however, I know she is not with us any longer, Well answered Jack, I have what is known as, extrasensory perception, or ESP. If we can have Susan's friends here, I can hear if they are telling the truth or not. It was so decided that Jack would listen to the answers that Belle gave to the entire household and the four friends. It included kitchen staff, cleaning crew, and the garden staff. Altogether quite a few people. Entering the room sat up for the purpose, each one had to enter through one door, were asked if they had killed Susan, or knew of her whereabouts, then they had to depart through another door. The entire household staff except for Allan and Ruth Wills and James the butler had been cleared. Now whom of these three people were the murderer?

      Sorry dear, he answered with his mouth full of that large chocolate donut. If I had known that you wanted this one dear, I would have taken another one. I will need a second donut to this coffee anyway, which one can I take Belle? Jack said with an innocent smile.

      You can shove them where ever they fit! I couldn’t care less for what you eat, or don’t, said Belle, as the telephone rang, and saved any further arguing.

      Trying to swallow a piece of his donut as quickly as possible, Jack coughed heavily before he answered, Jack Lord here.

      The call came from his old friend police chief, William (Bill) Smart. We are having some trouble down here at the precinct. Could you Jack, and Belle of course, come down here and look at our new problem?

      Okay if we will show up in an hour or so? Said Jack, looking at his assistant. And holding his hand over the phone speaker, he whispered. Another job dear.

      Sure, answered Bill over the phone. There is a problem, but I don't think the problem is that big, or urgent. Take your time and show up at any time through the day.

      Let's get down to the precinct, as soon as we have finished our coffee …and donuts of course, suggested Belle as she took the smallest of the donuts. Looking at Jack, she added gracefully. Jack, I didn't want you to get all upset, so I took the small one, okay?

      A tad sarcastic today Belle are we not? Said Jack as he finished his second donut. "However, Belle, I agree with your suggestion. Let's go down and see Bill after our little snack. The sooner we look at the problem; the sooner we might find an answer. And I would like to say Belle. At the last two cases,
