by Peggy Bacon ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 15, 1952
First rate mystery novel with an unusual set of circumstances:- an innocent young housewife falls heir to the crooked falsities of another by the same name, and while her reporter husband is off on an assignment, she gets caught in a net of financial shakedowns, blackmail and kidnapping. Some questionable factors here for the innocent, perhaps, but most upper teens will find it an absorbing tale, with a wind-up which provides a certain rightness in the protection of the killer.
