Mason grinned. "There are no ethics when you're dealing with the police. Or I should say when the police are dealing with you. You're supposed to be bound by ethics. The police don't have ethics. They act on the assumption that they're 'getting the truth,' whereas you are 'protecting a criminal.'" (

"Buried Clock" focuses around a clock that is buried in the forest near some cabins in Kern County that apparently keeps sidereal, or star time. I had no idea what this meant, but apparently the stars gain about four minutes every day on sun time. What does this have to do with murder, you ask? Oh, quite a bit, actually, once you realize that all the people in this remote mountain community wander around at night, taking pictures. The clock actually comes in for a faked alibi. I was wondering right until the end how he was going to finagle that one in! (

A man named Jack Hardisty embezzles $100, 000 and soon afterwards is found shot dead in a forest cabin currently on loan to a veteran named Henry Raymond. A ticking clock is found buried nearby. iIt being a story written during the war, it follows the convention of the time that veterans are all good guys. (
