The Mystery of the Wandering Caveman

This was the thirty fourth case of the three sleuths. A scientist meets a sudden death right at Jones Salvage Yard which leaves a dormant trail for the three investigators to follow that turns up to be a curious case. Prehistoric creature is reported to come to life and bones of a newly discovered fossil is stolen. An entire town goes to sleep and all seem to have solid alibi. But the lead comes unexpectedly with a twist so like good mystery novels and in between businessmen and scientists figthing for the fossil the investigators faces a challenging riddle. I seem to find the case more intriguing than when I read it first but with that too I found an apparent mistake of the plot. The simplicity of manufacturing of a chemical that required a deal of research seemed to be unconvincing. But except for this it will find a place among the moderately good.
