About this ebook
The third book in the Louise Pearlie Mysteries is “an entertaining combination of mystery, adventure, and romance, with a great sense of place and time” (Historical Novel Society).
Young widow Louise Pearlie seizes a chance to escape the typewriters and files of the Office of Strategic Services, the United States’ World War II spy agency, when she’s asked to investigate a puzzling postcard referred to OSS by the US Censor. She and FBI agent Gray Williams head off to St. Leonard, Maryland, to talk to the postcard’s recipient, one Leroy Martin. But what seemed like a straightforward mission to Louise soon becomes complicated. Leroy and his wife, Anne, refuse to talk, but as Louise and Williams investigate, it soon becomes clear that Leroy is mixed up in something that looks a lot like treason. But what? Louise is determined to find out the truth, whatever the cost . . .
“A very good entry in this new and promising series.” —Booklist

espionage, nazis, FBI, women-sleuths, suspense, friendship, Washington DC, WW2 1943 Washington office of the OSS. Louise Pearlie is a file clerk supervisor who has had an experience with the more active side of the agency in order to help a dear friend trapped in Vichy France. This time she winds up with a terribly green agent who nearly blows the whole investigation into a peculiar postcard sent to an oysterman. Later she winds up with an FBI agent on a ramification of the same case and her resourcefulness is tested to the limit. Excellent read! Narrator Jenny Hoops makes it all seem current and real while giving the characters depth beyond the written word.
