She Died A Lady

Description for SHE DIED A LADY by Carter Dickson:

FOOTNOTE TO DEATH

Beautiful Rita Wainright and young Barry Sullivan walked down the footpath to the edge of the seaside cliff---and never came back. Suicide by downing, the police decreed...until the bodies were washed ashore. Each had been killed by a bullet fired at clos range, and the double suicide was suddenly a case of double murder.

ENTER SIR HENRY MERRIVALE

The only footprints to be found at the top of the cliff belonged to the victims, but the famous detective Sir Henry Merrivale didn't believe in a gunman who could walk through the air. A very down-to-earth killer was on the loose, and it was up to Sir Henry to bring the footpad to heel and take him in tow before he had time to make tracks for his next victim!

This is #14 in A Sir Henry Merrivale Mystery.
