Synopsis: "Susan Dare is a charming young writer of mystery stories who has long pursued clues on paper with relentless logic, but who has never encountered an actual murder. Then came that eventful week at Christabel Frame's -- where she first met Jim Byrne. Meeting Jim Byrne was a turning point in Susan's life. That resourceful young reporter had a faculty for being where things happened -- before they happened. Susan found herself involved in rapid order in the case of the monkey and the ventriloquist; the affair of the Easter Island devil and the frightened wife; the case of the calico dog; the mystery of the claret lipstick, and the secret of the tragic-eyed ballet dancer.
