Author Description

Jennie Brice was a mediocre young actress, but on a dank and dangerous night with floodwaters rising, she managed a remarkable disappearing act. Her husband said she'd left him, but her landlady suspected something darker. The police had all the evidence of foul play--blood stains, a knife, Jennie's own fur coat--but Jennie herself was missing. The question was: Had the lady performed a theatrical miracle? Or had someone else performed a very ingenious murder? With illustrations by Earl Mayan, this edition from Blackbird Books brings new life to bestselling novelist Mary Roberts Rinehart's icy tale of romance and suspense.
