The Window at the White Cat, with eBook Lib/E

A beautiful girl seeks the help of an attorney when her father, State Treasurer Fleming, vanishes. Before long, her aunt also disappears--from a locked house in the dead of night. The search leads to the infamous White Cat, a seedy nightclub frequented by crooked politicians, where Fleming is found murdered. The Window at the White Cat is another in the famous Had-I-But-Known School of mysteries founded by Mary Roberts Rinehart with the publication in 1908 of her first work, The Circular Staircase. The focus of these stories is the Gothic heroine--always in the wrong place at the wrong time trusting the wrong people.
