In Suspense #127, “Drury’s Bones,” Boris Karloff stars as a Scotland Yard inspector who awakes in a London alley with no memory of his past—only to be reborn as “Terence Drury” and given a new life in law enforcement. Twenty years later, Drury is dispatched to a Devon village to investigate a skeleton unearthed in a garden, stirring half-buried memories and old mysteries. As he uncovers the truth about the vanished Ashley Nortons and his own lost identity, Drury is forced to confront an ironic—and unexpectedly touching—solution. A blend of amnesia, mistaken identity, and gentle gothic suspense, with a slyly humorous twist.
