The Hands of Death (A Story from The Sealed Book)

The Hands of Death is the story of two brothers, Edward and Kane Morlock. Both of them have an unhealthy interest in murder. Edward has an ever-growing collection of murder relics, while Kane is the San Francisco Strangler and has a rapidly growing collection of victims. Kane also has an axe to grind with his brother because he believes Edward swindled him out of his inheritance.

When a visitor suggests to Edward that the only thing missing from his collection is a murderer and his victim, Edward devises a sinister plan, by which he can attain both these things and also rid himself of his butler, who has been blackmailing him, and his brother Kane, who is drawing closer to him all the time. It is a dark, twisted plan and it works a treat, but this is a dark and twisted tale from The Sealed Book so things do not end quite as Edward hopes.
