Hasty Death

Lady Rose Summer refuses to abide by her parents' insistence that she marry. Even more distressing, she wants to work. On advice from Captain Harry Cathcart-a noble-born private investigator who knows Rose all too well-her parents agree to let Rose work as a typist and live in a women's hostel. But life as a working woman isn't quite what Rose imagined: When a playboy is murdered, Rose will return to high society to follow a trail of deception, rumors, and devious plots-even as a singularly calculating killer prepares to end rebellious Rose's sleuthing for good.
