Book Description

Christine Andersen , a blonde wolf-bait from New York, wanted an apartment in Washington almost in the worst way - but not quite, because she wanted it alone.

So, when the place on Grenadier Walk was offered to her, Christine moved right in and was settling down happily when she discovered the other blonde and got the nastiest shock of her young life. For the other gal was curled up in the apartment dumbwaiter and was very dead. From then on, events began to crowd in on Christine - some nice, like Shamus O'Reilly, a good looking cop who wanted to protect her - and some nasty, like Rose Delaney, her predcessor in her apartment.

What unpleasant business had Rose been up to and where did a seedy fortune teller called Madame Zerega fit in? Who owned the flexible steel rule, which would fit nicely round Christine's throat?

She knew that "blondes don't cry", but it was awfully difficult when somebody is after your life rather than your virtue.
