Just a few hours earlier, he had been as scared as a trapped rat, cowering in a bathroom, hoping the homeowners would go to bed without finding him. He got lucky, and he got away with his mark: a flimsy little piece of plastic that's worth more money than he's ever had at one time. But before he reaches his destination, he'll be left for dead on the sidewalk. As his last act, he drops his loot in the mail.The package is marked for Pamela North, the slightly daffy amateur sleuth who always nabs the killer, even if she never quite gets to the point. One man has already died for this mysterious item, and as soon as it lands in her mailbox, she'll be in danger of joining him.; Frances Louise Lockridge (January 10, 1896 - February 17, 1963) and Richard Orson Lockridge (September 26, 1898 in St. Joseph, Missouri - June 19, 1982 in Tryon, North Carolina) were American writers of detective fiction.
