Murder in false face

de Richard Lockridge · Publicada por primera vez en 1968

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.
