The tule marsh murder

About this book

James Aloysius "Peter" Piper, ace reporter for the Herald, is drawn into the mystery surrounding a woman found murdered in the marsh near El Cerrito, California. The body has been burned beyond recognition, but bears a striking similarity to Sheila (O'Shay) Ellsworth, the missing wife of millionaire Don Ellsworth. Also on the case is Dr. Cavanaugh, a famous psychiatrist who has made a hobby of analysis of the criminal mind and is a frequent consultant for the police and expert witness in murder trials. Bigamy, amnesia, and conspiracy all come into play before Peter stumbles into the shocking conclusion and uncovers the killer.
