In "The Degeneration OF Dorothy" the
author, Frank Kinsela, boldly started off
with startling and highly ingenious plot
based on the TRANSMISSION of blood, which is
treated so couvincingly and so deftly inter
woven with a strong heart-interest as to
quickly command and hold the attention Of
the reader. The central idea-so full OF
posSibilites-is masterfully carried through
its many shifting phases in a stirring sweep
ing sequence of dramatic action that affords
intense situations and many surprises. G.
