The story's protagonist, Lexy Moran, gets to know Caroline Enderby as she is a young lady with a flawless reputation. Her mother watches her like a hawk to guide her inappropriate suitors and protect her from scandals or compromising situations of any sort. The shock comes when Caroline doesn't come home one night. What is more strange to Lexy is that her mother doesn't seem worried about the situation, although it looks like Caroline escaped with an admirer. But how was it possible for a shy girl living in tight discipline to find a man or arrange a marriage? Who is the strange guy coming the next day searching for Caroline, and why is her mother so calm upon the situation? These are the matters for Lexy to investigate.

"Expert, ingenious suspense story of a cat and mouse chase – and of murder. How Susan, traveling for Gateways, a Charm School racket, is picked up and trailed by three men. How the husband of her first contact is murdered, of mounting confusion and terror as she is finally stalked. All set in an innocent New England village. Clever trick narration – and breathless build-up. Non-pareil and quite novelty." – Kirkus Reviews
