The faceless adversary

Edición de la obra The faceless adversary

It was one of the biggest evenings of John Hayward's life, for his girl had just promised to marry him. The evening was bigger than he thought, however, for on his return home he was met by New York City Police detectives and accused of murder; his victim, a woman called Nora Evans, a beautiful young woman he didn't even know. When the police unfold the fool-proof evidence against him, John is horrified by its conclusiveness and realizes he has been cleverly, carefully framed. Left with nothing save his own ingenuity and the help of his fiancee, Barbara Phillips, he must quickly provide an alibi and above all prove that he is not the man the police are looking for. As John and Barbara start the search for The Faceless Adversary, Frances and Richard Lockridge are off to another of their spellbinding mysteries.
