The Missing Heiress by Robert Goldsborough Pdf

The daughter of a steel magnate disappears, and Nero and Archie must forge ahead with an investigation in this new mystery from the award–winning author. Archie Goodwin’s very good friend, Lily Rowan, spends much of her time—and considerable financial resources—helping women in need, from underpaid workers to mistreated wives. But at the moment she’s particularly concerned about one woman: her best friend, Maureen, a beautiful socialite who’s been incommunicado for two weeks. After Archie helps Lily comb through Maureen’s deserted Park Avenue penthouse, and Lily contacts each of her friend’s well-heeled suitors, they still don’t know much more than when they started. Then Archie tries to track down Maureen’s estranged half-brother, but he seems to have vanished as well. Fortunately, Archie’s employer, Nero Wolfe, has a soft spot for Lily. He volunteers to step in—just in time, too, as this missing-person case soon becomes a murder case . . . “[Wolfe is] one of the two or three most beloved detectives in fiction.” —Publishers Weekly “Goldsborough has all of the late writer’s stylistic mannerisms down pat.” —The New York Times

The Beautiful Stranger / The Missing Heiress by BERNICE. CAREY Pdf

THE BEAUTIFUL STRANGER When Jim McGowan brings his new bride home to his small mill town, no one knows what to make of her. With her dark hair and flawless skin, Terese is the most beautiful woman any of them have ever seen. It is as if Elizabeth Taylor had moved to town. So naturally, Lester Coleman, the town wolf, has to make his play. But Terese only has eyes for Jim, and doesn't give Lester a moment's thought. Which doesn't stop the tongues from wagging-the jealous wives are quick to assume the worst about Terese. And while they worry about the new woman in town, the men debate the possibility of the union coming in. Everyone knows that Lester is a snitch for management. The situation is primed for disaster. And that is just what happens. THE MISSING HEIRESS Seventeen-year-old heiress, Virginia Forester, has gone missing. Has she been kidnapped, or is she just hiding out? The hunt is on, and all the newspapers run the story. So when a new couple show up at the Shady Dell trailer park, Mrs. Camarilla is suspicious. There's a reward for Virginia's return, and Mrs. Camarilla would like to be the one to receive it. But first she must deal with the problem of an old nemesis who pulls into the park with a new husband and a new identity. There may be a quick profit to be made here as well. When Mrs. Camarilla is found murdered in her trailer, the cops find their missing heiress. But the coincidence is more than Inspector Granger can allow. Only Virginia had something to gain by the death of Mrs. Camarilla-and that is exactly who he suspects. Plus, "He Got What He Deserved," Bernice Carey's only crime short story!

The Missing Heir by Jane Toombs Pdf

HE'D NEVER BEEN AS ATTRACTED TO—OR SUSPICIOUS OF—A WOMAN IN HIS LIFE… Raising horses—not spying on scheming females—was rugged Russ Simon's passion. Still, for his family's sake, he grudgingly agreed to discover whether poor if pretty rancher Marigold Crowley was a gold-digging impostor…or a truly missing heiress. Cynical-about-women Russ never expected to fall for his golden-haired quarry. With her unsuspecting smile, her soft lilac scent and her innocent love of horses, orphaned Mari seemed hungry for a family, not a fortune. And Russ ached to make her his. Trouble was, could he trust her? Worse, once Mari uncovered his seductive charade, would she trust him?
