Canary Yellow

The Idyllic Beauty of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, its aura of luxury and leisure, suddenly are shattered by the cry of a frightened woman. She is Miss Leeson, otherwise known as Miss Milton, and her presence in Las Palmas in itself is something of a mystery.

With Miss Leeson's death, ensuing investigations, suspicions, accusations and confessions follow thick and fast. But it takes more than thievery and mayhem to put a crimp in a Cadell romance- especially when the young lady is not only intelligent but beautiful and the young man is very tall, handsomely dark and fiery.

The villain is charming and in his way, heroic. The victim is to be mourned but everything and everybody else in this book is to be admired and enjoyed.
