"At the Boston Book Fair, the mystery author Victor Quade had rashly boasted that, given the first three chapters, he could solve any crime story. Erma King, who found herself living in the middle of a mystery, took Quade at his word. Whereupon he found out that real-life detection is not quite so easy as its fictional counterpart," according to the blurb.
