StoryErle Stanley Gardner's 1963
novel
Perry is approached by a young woman
named Dorrie Ambler who wants him to verify her identity.
A seedy private eye has been paying her to frequent
certain places around town and Dorrie thinks it's because
she resembles someone else. Paul learns that this is
true: Dorrie looks like a spoiled heiress named Minerva
Minden. After some checking, Perry discovers that Minerva
was supposedly involved in a hit-and-run accident and it
looks as though Dorrie is being used to prove that. But
why?
Blackmail. At least that's what it
looks like. But when the blackmailing private eye is
killed, Perry learns the truth. Dorrie Ambler is Minerva
Minden. She wasn't hired by the dead man, she was being
blackmailed by him. The question is: Who is the dead
woman burned beyond recognition in the car accident but
identified as Dorrie Ambler?
