Cuckoos on the Hearth
by Parker W. Fennelly

THE STORY: The Carlisles live in a lonely house in Maine.

Mr. Carlisle must go to Washington to discuss a formula he has perfected.

He wouldn't think of leaving his pretty wife if, at that moment, a fat and disagreeable novelist had not arrived and offered himself as temporary protection.

Off goes Carlisle.

On come three mysterious strangers: one with a beard who acts like nothing human; one a gangster; and one a pretended minister.

What do you suppose they are up to?

And which of them, if any is an escaped strangler?

Well, you can write your own story after that.

Mr. Fennelly has written two-one according to a pattern furnished by the novelist, and one in accordance with the records of the house where the story occurs.

Both are acted out, both are thrilling and entertaining.
