Plot
A blood-stained rope, and towel, and a missing tenant, Jennie Brice—all of which convince Mrs. Pittman that a murder has been committed in her boarding house. But without a body, the police say there is no case. Pittman tries to ferret out the killer by using the key to Jennie's apartment to investigate.[1]
The novel was published with illustrations by M. Leone Bracker.[2] The Boston Evening Transcript called the novel "a well-spun yarn" and praised its originality and unusual setting.[3]
