With as swift and tricky a plot as ever intrigued the brain of a mystery lover, this mystery novel is at once a challenge and an adventure for the reader. Its scene is a Nevada ranch, yet it is not a Western story. But the strange and exciting events related here could have happened nowhere else.
Three murders and a suicide plague the Desert Moon Ranch-one of them a lovely girl with a secret. No clues, yet clues everywhere. Days and nights of suspense, danger, suspicion. Sam Stanley, his housekeeper Mary Magin, and the rest of the household were getting along fine until the arrival of the twin girls, Danielle and Gabrielle. Unnerved when death appears on the ranch, it is not until the arrival of Miss Lynn MacDonald, detective, that the strange puzzle is solved. The Desert Moon Mystery offers the detective story fan an unusual thrill.
