A California D.A. handles a case of a baby lost and another found in this classic hard-boiled mystery by the author of the Perry Mason series.
The bestselling author of the century . . . a master storyteller. --The New York Times
A late-night hit-and-run accident claims an infant's life on a steep mountain road outside Madison City. What puzzles District Attorney Doug Selby is that the other car was stolen, driven out of town and back, and returned to the same spot . . .
Then Selby receives a phone call from the bus depot. A woman claims she and her baby are in danger. When Selby and Sheriff Rex Brandon arrive at the depot, they find the child, but her mother is nowhere in sight. Their investigation leads to a hidden treasure in the cabin of a hermit, whose sister and brother-in-law own the stolen car.
But when a body is found and more questions arise, Selby deduces the best way to catch the killer is to stop looking. Instead, he will make the killer come to him . . .
Originally published in 1942.
