- Sally O'Neil, policewoman, is handed a fortune on a silver platter...
- Genre
- detective-mystery
- Characters
- Sally O'Neil (last appearance)
The special way of walking and long torsos with broad shoulders tilting sideways and some staring eyes are signs of a probable Zolnerowich. Kirkpatrick has more close up faces in side view popping in from the sides of panels and most of the figures in the lower part of the panels and also less movement.
Final appearance.
