Select Detective #1
Select Detective #1 This anthology issue contains at least two mystery stories. The first involves a murder investigation where detectives interrogate a woman in a red dress suspected of killing someone named Christine; the suspect claims she was at the movies with George Simpson when the crime occurred and uses her left-handedness as an alibi, though evidence of her involvement emerges. The second story, set during Nazi-occupied France, follows a Marquis whose daughter is taken to a nursery; the narrative involves wartime intrigue, with American forces eventually liberating Paris and bringing justice to those who committed crimes during the occupation.
