Produced from the August 1927 issue of Amazing Stories Magazine. Roger Frank and Sue Clark "The Shadow on the Spark" by Edward S. Sears is a murder detective story written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds amid suspense, examining the complexities of circumstantial evidence surrounding the seemingly accidental death of a wealthy banker, Jim Craighead. The central theme involves the intricate interplay of human emotions and motives, particularly focusing on the potential for foul play masked by the guise of an unfortunate accident. The plot begins with Dr. Milton Jarvis returning from a medical conference to the shocking news of his friend Jim Craighead's death, which was attributed to complications following an amputation. However, Dr. Jarvis, troubled by the circumstances, investigates the matter further, suspecting foul play. As the investigation unfolds, it is revealed that a series of events—including the involvement of a dubious stepfather, a prescription for a narcotic, and the affections of a mysterious girl named Tessie Prettyman—converge to paint a complex picture of betrayal and murder. Through scientific discoveries and clever deduction, Dr. Jarvis leads to an explosive courtroom revelation, unveiling the poison's true origins and closing in on the culprits, while also revealing the tragic consequences for those involved.
