novel, The Case of the Footloose Doll
Ethel Andrews is left waiting at the
altar by her fiancée, Bruce Strickland, who also left
her to take the blame for a $50,000 securities theft,
since her signature was on the transfer authorization.
Ethel leaves town and nearly has an accident with a car
driven by Peggy Sutton, who is also on the run, but from
a hired killer. Peggy persuades Ethel to swap identities
for a week, but then Peggy dies in an auto accident.
Ethel is terrified when she finds
$50,000 in the trunk of Peggy's car. She goes to Perry
for help, and he sends Paul to Lake Tahoe to find out
about this Peggy Sutton. When someone kills Bruce
Strickland, Ethel's masquerade is over, and Perry's job
is just beginning.
