- Synopsis
- Newly widowed and back in America after living in Japan for many years, Sheila Travis finds employment as administrative assistant to the president at Markham, an institute that trains young men for diplomatic service. She is just getting to know some of the students and staff when, along with one student and the business manager, she discovers a decaying corpse in the library stacks. The young woman was Melanie Forbes, a beautiful model who dated at least two of the Markham men. Sheila's aunt Mary, with the personality of a former Southern belle and a shrewd mind, is visiting and lends her assistance as Sheila tries to sort out who might have killed the lovely but sharp-tongued Melanie. Naturally, the police are involved as well, especially detective Mike Flannagan. He doesn't approve of Sheila's trying to solve the murder, but he is charmed by Aunt Mary and attracted to Sheila. Another candidate for her affections is David MacClean, a visiting professor from Aberdeen, but David is one of the suspects. And when a second woman is murdered, a woman who might have shed light on Melanie's death, danger mounts for Sheila and everyone at Markham. This is a taut, fast-moving, and often amusing mystery, the first in the Sheila Travis series.
