  Three guests at the plushest hotel in Los Angeles die in their beds under mysterious circumstances. The hotel manager breathes a sigh of relief because he believes in the old superstition that bad things happen in a cycle of three. LAPD Detective Ed Browning and his partner arenʼt buying the managerʼs tale. They start investigating and soon hear the story that the sister of the dead girl is seeing her sisterʼs ghost, talking to her, and learning her death was not by natural causes. More suspicious than ever, Browning and his partner then are suddenly told to back off by their captain. This makes them even more doubtful that two old people and one young girl died of natural causes in the same hotel. Since they canʼt officially investigate, they turn to their friend Maisy Malone for help. Maisy rounds up a cadre of fellow amateur sleuths and sends them out to do the leg work Browning and his partner canʼt do. Maisy and company hit the streets and highways to dig up evidence, and in four days they meet at the same hotel with their witnesses and suspects.

  Short Snorter by Charles Einstein - His saucer was parked in the woods, and Mr. Steariot (from Venus) was parked in the lobby.... 
  Three paths led through the woods away from the resort hotel, and of the three two were clearly marked: one with a sign that said it led to the lake, the other pointing toward the golf links. The third pathway was unmarked, and this was the one that inevitably the lovers and the honeymooners took—the path that Alice and Fred Daniels followed today. 
  The sun was unusually warm for this time of year, but only a few yards along the pathway Fred and Alice were swallowed up by the great and near-great trees of the forest. The sunlight was, except for an occasional patch of light here and there, warded away by the foliage above. The forest was very quiet. The pathway bridged a silent brook, and then, perhaps a third of a mile into the woods, turned abruptly to the left and the woods became even more dense, the pathway narrow. 
  Through the trees to the right at this point was a clearing, an unusual grassy circle perhaps sixty yards in diameter. It was not the clearing itself, however, but, instead, the glint of color in the sunlight that caused Fred and Alice to stop and look. 
  Alice said, "Fred, what is that?" 
  "Don't know," he said. "Something red. Let's look." 
  The two of them turned off the path and made their way through a dismal barrage of thicket to the clearing that lay beyond. When they got there, they saw the circular object—vehicle might be a better word. It was possibly fifteen yards in diameter. It seemed to be made of three rings, smaller ones bottom and top and the larger one ribbing the center, and to be constructed of some kind of plastic. Between the central and upper rings were set a series of small windows. The entire thing was painted a gaudy red. 
  "What do you think it is?" Fred said.
