PLENTY OF ACTION
A fast-moving story, in which an elderly gardener is awakened in the night and forced to dig a grave is contained in a now novel by Max Dalinun entitled "The Missing Grave." The police are sceptical of the old gardener's story until a local justice of the peace is missing from home and efforts to find him are unavailing. Events move more rapidly when a young reporter takes a hand in the investigation and an exciting clima-x is eventually reached.- The author, who has a keen sense of the dramatic, provides many situations thrilling enough for the most exacting reader of detective stories. "The Missins Grave," by Max Dalinao. (Ward Lock.)
