A Ghost Story


Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  This is Howard Bainbridge, noted specialist in chemical warfare who defected to the East, where he developed the lethal chemical TRA, a nerve gas formula known only to him.  We believe that Bainbridge, contaminated by his own deadly chemical, escaped the Iron Curtain and returned to his father's estate, where the elder Bainbridge killed his son and concealed the corpse.   Since Howard Bainbridge destroyed all his records before fleeing the East, the only existing trace of the chemical TRA is in his corpse.  Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to find Howard Bainbridge's body.  This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.  Good luck, Jim.
