The Ninety Million Dollar Mouse — Francis M. Nevins Jr.

A gnome and a giant with aimed .357 Magnum interrupt Milo Turner during a lazy, rainy afternoon. They represent a huge electronics firm and wish Milo to investigate some handwriting samples that are the only means of proving or disproving a holographic will left by the company's wonder-boy owner and founder. The will leaves the mega bucks firm to a strange and powerful cult called the Drakean Union. Milo accepts the case, for a half a million dollar fee, and is amazed at the results of the forces he sets in motion.

This story is clever, suspenseful, peopled with bizarre but believable characters, and provides a fitting challenge to its protagonist.
