A Mrs Norris Mystery
Cover by Victor Kalin |
As housekeeper to James
Jarvis’s recently deceased father, a retired major general of the US
Army, Mrs. Norris has raised Jimmie since boyhood. Now the Wall Street
lawyer faces a challenging case. The son of one of the firm’s old
blue-blood clients has been slapped with a paternity suit. But Teddy
Adkins swears he never slept with the woman.
Meanwhile, Mrs.
Norris is miffed when her gentleman friend Jasper Tully, the widowed
chief investigator for the Manhattan DA’s office, cancels one dinner
date after another because a real estate magnate has been found
strangled in the bedroom of her Upper East Side apartment. Jewelry was
stolen, but there are no signs of a break-in. Tully’s investigation
turns up a trail of strangulations that extends all the way to the
Midwest. As Mrs. Norris pursues her own unorthodox investigation, she
uncovers a shocking link between the cases that threatens her very life.
