For
CCRMT's 20th anniversary, we bring you a sequel to our very first
Captain Underhill mystery, The Legacy of Euriah Pillar.
This one's called The Case of the Indian Flashlights.
The Case of the Indian Flashlights
picks up the trail twenty years  later,
after the dust has settled and the case nearly forgotten. Euriah
Pillar's strongbox, formerly a buried treasure that became a piece
of courtroom evidence, now has become a sought-after item for collectors
of crime memorabilia. It has fallen into the hands of one such person,
a crooked antiques dealer known as Augie Nickleswipe (Stephen Russell)
who runs a shop in West Barnstable. A beautiful law student, Roberta
Salizar (Christine Rathbun), and a sweet old lady, Mrs. Clattershaw
(Bernie MacPherson), also enter the fray. The reluctant-as-usual
Doctor Scofield tags along with his friend, the retired police captain,
Waverly Underhill, as he cleverly sets snares and unearths clues
that lead the detective duo to an ancient tunnel running from a
tavern under Route 149 and into the West Barnstable Burial Ground,
where lies the crypt of Jabez Howland.
Carol McManus reprises her role as Tishua, the West Indian cook
from The Case of the Automatic Murders. Old Tishua delivers
the opening monologue, an amalgam of Cape Cod history and mystery,
that sets up the tale which spins itself out, answering many questions
along the way, including one already implied: Exactly what are 'Indian
Flashlights' and how do they end up saving the lives of Captain
Underhill and Doctor Scofield?
