Acquitted of murdering her husband, Mrs. Vina Gregson remains essentially a prisoner, trapped in her elegant New York apartment with occasional furtive forays to her Connecticut estate. A jury may have found her innocent, but Mrs. Gregson remains a murderess in the eyes of the public and of the tabloid journalists who hound her every step. She has recently begun receiving increasingly menacing letters written, she is certain, by the person who killed her husband. Taking the matter to the police would heighten her notoriety, so she calls on Henry Gamadge, the gentleman-sleuth who is known for both his discretion and his ability to solve problems that baffle the police.
A true who-done-it without all the sex and violence you find so much these days.
Meet Henry Gamadge

Elizabeth Daly's Henry Gamadge is a character worth knowing. He is not a detective, but investigates only to help a friend, or a friend's friend, and the police, at first resnting this interference of a civilian, come to depend on his assistance. The development of plot, and the dialog of the characters, grip the reader's interest.
