About this book

A hard-driving corporation lawyer named Roger Sands shares a train stateroom with a frightened young woman on the Santa Fé Limited, shields her from a man she is fleeing, and within days marries her. The bride, Beverley, is carrying a secret: a sealed envelope she was charged to deliver. When she finally opens it, the documents inside have been swapped for blank paper and the originals are gone. With a deadline closing in and the truth kept from her new husband, she turns to Clo Riley, a young shopgirl she has rescued from despair, and the two set out to recover the papers before a congressman can put them to his own use. The popular husband-and-wife team behind the era's motoring romances blends drawing-room intrigue with a light, quick mystery.

About the author

A. M. Williamson

Charles Norris Williamson (1859-1920) and his wife Alice Muriel Williamson (1869-1933) were a British writing team who published together as "C. N. and A. M. Williamson." They were among the most popular Edwardian authors of the "motoring novel," light romantic adventures that followed young travelers on car and boat tours through Europe.
