A young man is stopped by the police, a body is found in his backseat, and he is convicted of murder. While he awaits execution, he makes out a will leaving all his money to the police lieutenant who handled his case. The lieutenant learns of this when Hildegarde Withers, schoolteacher and hard-boiled private eye, stops by. She determines to clear the man in the few days left before his execution. The opening paragraphs bear comparison with the opening of Chandler's short story "Red Wind".

When I have had a rough day, Miss Withers always cheers me up. I love the cozy mysteries from the early and mid 20th century. Entertaining without sex and very little violence.

Love Miss Withers
