Acerca deste livro eletrónico
A very very rich dowager is being scared to death . . .
A classic whodunit by a #1 bestselling author who 'helped the mystery series grow up" (New York Times)
First a cloud of bats; then rats - it looks like someone is trying to frighten Eliza Fairbanks into her grave. At least that's what the elderly widow claims is being done to her. Nurse Hilda Adams, aka "Miss Pinkerton" to the Homicide Bureau, believes Eliza's fears could just be true . . .
And when a dubious assortment of relatives come visiting Eliza at the mansion, it's Hilda's job to keep an eye on Eliza before a potential killer resorts to more definitive means. And considering all the bad blood running through the heart of the Fairbanks family, it might already be too late to save her charge.

Acerca do autor
Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958) trained as a nurse, and first started writing when she and her husband needed money after the stock market crash. She wrote dozens of highly successful novels, had two hits plays running simultaneously on Broadway, and, acting as a war correspondent, was the first journalist - man or woman - to reach the front during World War I. In addition, Rinehart was a staunch advocate to Congress for the Blackfoot Indians, covered the political conventions of 1916, lived in a haunted house, unearthed German spies, went public with a mastectomy (in 1947) as she wanted as many people as possible to be aware of the largely un-discussed disease cancer. She also survived an attempted murder! Known as 'the American Agatha Christie', she is also credited with inventing the phrase 'the butler did it'.
