Publisher Notes
One of the Continental Op's most bizarre cases, as he is faced with Miss Gabrielle Dain Leggett, who has an unfortunate effect on the people around her - they have a habit of dying violently.
First Line
It was a diamond all right, shining in the grass half a dozen feet from the blue brick wall.
