Mystery Woman Sleuth
The blonde secretary was scared when she visited Miranda Corbieโs office. A shove into a streetcar track, a box of poisoned chocolatesโฆhateful, violent letters. Someone was trying to kill her. Miranda isnโt sure of anything at first except that Louise Crowley, the blonde who works as an assistant to Niles Alexander, San Francisco publisher, is in trouble. Despite her own preparations for an imminent voyage to a blitzkrieged Britain and a painful farewell to the city she loves, Miranda decides to help Louise and takes on her last case as a private detective in San Franciscoโฆ investigating her client, surveying the publishing world of 1940, and stumbling into murder with a trail that leads straight to Alcatrazโฆan island city of sharks. Along the way, Miranda explores her beloved San Francisco once more, from Playland-at-the-Beach to Chinatown to Nob Hill and Treasure Island. She encounters John Steinbeck and C.S. Forester, and is aided and abetted by the charming and dapper San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen. And she also discovers personal truths sheโs long deniedโฆ
