AFTER an absence of three years Cy Hatch has returned to New York - just in time to find a man awaiting execution on Thursday, and sudden death striking one after another of the people who might clear the doomed man. Apparently someone with an uncomfortable mania for opening people's throats owned a set of expensive razors, one for each day of the week. The razor with "Monday" stamped on the blade was used to slit Ellis's throat. With his last breath Ellis gave Cy Hatch a puzzling clue, but before the detective could run it down the razor stamped "Tuesday" had already been used. And the next day the razor marked "Wednesday" had found the throat of another person who might have straightened out the whole situation. With a man in the death house and three victims already paying with their lives to keep evidence from coming to light, Cy knew that only fast action and accurate guessing could save another victim from Thursday's Blade!.
