THE SHADOW OF SUSPICION by Emilie Loring

THE SHADOW OF SUSPICION

By

Publisher: Little, Brown

Topical troubleshooting sets Don Bruce on the trail of a Communist organizer (brainwashed in Korea) to a lumber camp in Maine, owned and operated by pretty Julie's Aunt Deb, and manned by a crew of former Communist prisoners. Don, hired on as its new manager, looks into the death of his predecessor, cannot prevent the murder of the surly Swen or palliate the apprehension here (everybody's on edge except the reader) until he isolates his man.... Perennial perishable.
