Leave Her to Hell

Graham's third wife -- the first two had divorced him -- seemed to be missing. Simply vanished. Her disappearance was reported to the police, who made an effort to find her, but couldn't. It was kept quiet because of her baby, a little boy who died before his second birthday. Vulnerable, she had then had an affair ... and the man she'd had the affair with also disappeared. Everyone assumed they'd run away together. Enter Faith Salem. Before she married Graham and became wife number four, she wanted to know what really happened to the third wife. That's why she hired Percy Hand. He was tough enough to find out the truth -- whatever it took. A noir detective tale originally published in 1958.
