BLACK WIDOWER — BARGAIN BOOK

BLACK WIDOWER -- BARGAIN BOOK





It was no secret among the members of the Washington diplomatic corps that Mavis Ironmonger, the beautiful wife of the first Ambassador of the United States from the newly independent republic of Tampica, was involved in scandalous love affairs. When invitations are sent out for a reception at the Tampican embassy the prospective party has all of Washington astir, and members of the embassy nervously anticipate an embarrassing scene with Mavis at the center. The night of the party the impetuous woman manages to elude the watchful eyes of the embassy staff and to insult an Israeli diplomat to his face. Mavis is removed to her bedroom, seemingly in a drunken stupor, but a few hours later her corpse is discovered. Suicide is ruled out by autopsy, and to avoid further publicity Chief Superintendent of Scotland Yard Henry Tibett is called in to conduct a secret investigation. Henry flies to Washington with his wife, Emmy, and is immediately embroiled in a murder case that takes him from the glamour of Washington's Embassy Row to a paradisiacal Caribbean island to the elegance of Georgetown, where the murderer is brought to light.
