Jennie Baxter, Journalist

Dark-eyed Jennie always takes care with her appearance. Those magazine pieces about affordable Parisian styles "did" appear below her name, after all.

At this moment she takes special care, however -- for she is setting out to capture a man . . . and not just any man, either: Radnor Hardwick, capable editor of the "Daily Bugle," the most enterprising morning journal in the metropolis. Jennie has done work for evening papers, weeklies, and a number of the monthlies, but the income, while reasonably good, is hazardously fitful!

As she sets out the door, she unknowingly sets herself upon a future course full of more excitement than she bargained for -- for she finds herself involved in solving a mystery, becoming a special officer for the police -- and being sent on a mission abroad calling for deception and thievery.
