Mystery Private Eye
Back in Sacramento again, where the sign on the door of her detective agency reads ALEXIS J. SMITH β Discreet Inquiries, Lexie finds that her old room at Mrs. Snidelyβs Establishment for Young Ladies (a fancy name for a boardinghouse_ has been let to someone else while she was away on a case in England. The new tenant is supposedly a ballerina, and a defector from the Russian Bolshoi, seeking political asylum in this country. But is she? Lexie doubts the story and begins to investigate, determined to get at the truth while ignoring the danger to herself. With the case successfully concluded, she is free to accept another assignment from her friend Inspector Harry Hawkins at Scotland Yard. The case sounds bizarre from the beginning, but gets more so with each turn of events. It seems that a Russian count, a nephew of the late Tzar Nicholas II, is living in exile in Oxfordshire, with his young American bride. In Harryβs opinion, the countess is more than a little mad, demanding that Scotland Yard recover her dog, a Russian wolfhound, which she claims has been stolen by β of all people β Humphrey Bogart! It will take all of Lexieβs skill and unflinching determination to connect the dots, right up to the deadly conclusion.
