The Masked Monkey (1972)
“Joe got a hand on a furry leg, but the animal scampered free. It dashed to the fire escape and swung down the metal framework from floor to floor, using its long prehensile tail as a fifth paw. The boys watched in dismay as the monkey finally leaped to the pavement and vanished around a corner of the hotel.
“That’s the ugliest brute I’ve ever seen,” Joe said in a shaky voice. “I’d consider it a nightmare if you hadn’t seen it too, Frank.”
“Oh, it was real enough,” said Frank, who had been exami...ning his clothes. “Real enough to make off with my wallet, key ring, passport and other identification papers.”
Joe went through his pockets. “Good night! I’m cleaned out, too!”
Frank sat down on the bed. “Joe, we’re dealing with a monkey clever enough to be a professional burglar. A human being couldn’t have pulled off the job more neatly.”
“A human being put that monkey up to it!” Joe said.
An odd feeling swept over both boys. They felt as if they were in the grip of some evil power, as if a malevolent force was bent on their destruction.MoreLess
