Murder in false face

Edición de la obra Murder in false face

It all starts when Joan Mead receives an unexpected telephone call on the afternoon of March tenth.... Joan Mead looks more like a model than a member of the New York bar. But when she finds herself the number one suspect in a brutal murder, the young attorney discovers she needs every bit of her legal skill. Joan accepts an invitation to spend the weekend with her widowed aunt, who had been a famous columnist before she retired. Arriving at the lovely old Connecticut home, she finds her aunt, Ruth Mead Carson, dead from a shotgun blast at close range. From the window, Joan spies a curious-looking man approaching the house carrying a spade and a pickaxe. Why? Is he planning to dig a grave? Joan doesn't wait to find out. She runs for her life and the chase is on—with the police tagging her as the culprit-—and the killer tagging her as his next victim.
