Who Was Nathan Spencer? — Mary Jo Dawson

Miss Anne Carey's affluent brother Ira consults her for advice. Should he loan his son Craig thirty thousand dollars although he cannot say what the money is for? This isn't like Craig at all. Decidedly odd, agree Anne's friends Sally Nimitz and George Thomas.

Craig gets the loan, and what began as puzzling quickly turns deadly. The money disappears, Craig is fighting for his life, and the name of an elusive older brother crops up in connection with the whole mess. Sally and George step up to help their dear friend's family find answers. Who was Nathan Spencer? Was he responsible for robbery, kidnapping, and murder?
