I Met Murder — E.X. Ferrars / Elizabeth Ferrars

Whenever Felix, the light-fingered husband from whom Virginia Freer was semi-detached, reappeared in her life, it seemed murder did too. Even when temporarily incapacitated by an accident. Felix brought mystery with him. This time it concerned Holly, orphaned daughter of a famous actress, who had come to Rome to stay with Virginia's friends, the Brightwells. Holly disappeared, believed kidnapped, and distraught Ann Brightwell was prepared to sell her valuables to meet the ransom demand. Felix thought there was something odd about the kidnapping and was convinced the ransom shouldn't be paid. . .
