INTRODUCING MISS PATIENCE THUMM.
Ten years have passed since the ever.ts recounted in the Tragedies of X and Y. Inspector Thumm has retired. District Attorney Bruno has been elected governor of New York. And Drury Lane, his mind keen as ever, is old and physically infirm.
Enter and take center stage Miss Patience Thumm, the inspector's daughter and a most modern young woman, who has recently concluded her education on the Continent. Patience is one of the most delightful and beguiling detectives in all mystery fic- tion. A mass of contradictions, she is both an incor- rigible flirt and a militant feminist (early '30s style). Behind those deep blue eyes, she has a mind like a steel trap.
Patience Thumm and Drury Lane co-star in an ex- citing melodrama about the murder of a crooked state senator. Don't miss the thrilling last act dramatically played out in the death chamber of the state prison itself. ISBN:0930330587
