The Avenger 24 - Midnight Murder
“Every hundred yards or so there was a plop like that of thick yellow paint, as big as a half dollar, in the street.
The only trouble was that the drops were so far apart that, while you could follow at a good rate of speed, you couldn’t tell where corners had been turned. You were apt to go shooting on, find no more spots, and have to turn back and investigate the last intersection, first to the left and then to the right, to pick up the trail again. Which took time. They’d have to tell Mac... that; have him regulate the stuff, so that it dissolved and dripped about twice as fast.
Smitty and Nellie were half an hour behind their quarry by the time they got to the exclusive and expensive suburb of Westchester.
It was lucky they had the indisputable proof of the tracking paint to show where the car had stopped. Otherwise, they never would have believed it, because the destination was a millionaireish-looking house with at least twenty rooms and a four-car garage..MoreLess
