The Black Dots, Part Three
No one could remember what the pharmaceuticals factory was built for, other than to pollute the entire city with noxious fumes and wastewater. It was owned by Rufus T. Dowling, the reclusive textiles baron who at one time controlled more than a third of the city's real estate.
Ever since his wife's death, he had rarely been seen in public and his empire was in decline.
Once I had learned the truth about the black dot killings, the first question I wanted answered was whether Dowling knew about the plot. That's why I drove to his mansion on Pine Hill.
