Antony Maitland #12
The Case Is Altered
The silken-haired starlet who turned up one evening in Antony Maitland's apartment was very young, very pretty, and very troubled.
Her fiancé, it seemed, had been accused of stealing a famous emerald necklace from the fabulous film star, Guiditta. And the girl was sure, of course, that he didn't do it.
Not being one to refuse a lovely damsel in distress, the busy lawyer promised to look into the matter. That's when the dead body turned up, and several violent characters began trying to dissuade Antony from looking any further.
