Abstract
When an unidentified corpse is discovered in the Bull Creek Mine, a Coal and Iron policeman takes into custody an Italian immigrant who is alleged to be a member of the Black Hand, a Mafia branch in Western Pennsylvania. Milo Kachigan and Helen Sorby investigate and the case leads them up and down the Black Valley, the coal seam along the Allegheny River from Verona to Natrona.
