It's 1941 and San Francisco is pulsing with excitement. For Cameron Ferris, newly arrived from Tiny Town, Oregon, a seat on the sidelines is thrilling enough. But then her life takes a turn: There's a strange man living in her apartment, kidnappers hanging out on the fire-escape, and all traces of her life have been scrubbed clean. Who is Cameron Ferris? And what can she do to foil a gang of kidnappers?

The War is over, but only just, and San Francisco is still crammed with military uniforms. It is also crammed with Bohemians. Noel Bruce, the protagonist of this mystery with elements of romantic suspense, straddles both camps: By day she's a straight-laced driver for the Navy, but at night she lets her hair down and parties with her flamboyant art-school chums. The party comes to a screeching halt, however, when a dead body turns up in a sculptor's studio.

In Skeleton Key, Georgine Wyeth, a widowed young mother in Berkeley, CA, met Todd McKinnon, a pulp novelist; it's now a few years later, and the couple are taking a trip with Georgine's daughter, Barbie. On their way home they stop for a brief visit with some relatives, only to be sucked into a strange case involving a disappeared husband and mysterious footsteps in the night.

Third in the Todd & Georgine series by Lenore Glen Offord, originally published in 1949. Todd and Georgine McKinnon's pleasant domesticity is shattered by the sudden arrival of a distinctly nonconformist young man who tells a wild tale and dies a short time later. When Georgine gets a threatening phone call, solving the mystery becomes an urgent matter.
