B. Typhosus Takes a Hand

By Francis Lynde

Waking up in a Pullman car one morning, a man finds that he can’t remember who he is or where he is going. Before long he learns his name is Rodney Hazzard, and his destination is the small Appalachian community of South Tredegar, where he’s apparently a businessman of some importance. Embarrassed by his predicament Hazzard — who apparently lost his memory upon being stricken with typhoid fever — attempts to bluff his way forward until such time as his memory returns, which his local doctor has predicted. But he may not have as much time as he thinks: the amnesiac is implicated in murder and a big business deal hangs in the balance! A classic of suspense that presages the type of yarn in which Cornell Woolrich later excelled.
