The Case of Jennie Brice - Tapa blanda

Jennie Brice was a mediocre young actress, but on a dank and dangerous night with floodwaters rising, she managed a remarkable disappearing act. Her husband said she’d left him, but her landlady suspected something darker.The police had all the evidence of foul play—blood stains, a knife, Jennie’s own fur coat—but Jennie herself was missing. The question was: Had the lady performed a theatrical miracle? Or had someone else performed a very ingenious murder?With illustrations by Earl Mayan, this edition from Blackbird Books brings new life to bestselling novelist Mary Roberts Rinehart’s icy tale of romance and suspense.

The author of more than three dozen novels, many of them bestsellers, she was also a prolific writer of plays and short stories, and several of her works were adapted for film and television. She died in New York in 1958.
