Summary:
Lady on a train: A young woman on a New York-bound train is witness to a murder outside her compartment window. With a penchant for reading mystery novels and the help of a mystery writer, she sets out to solve the case after police refuse to believe her story. Tangier: In the North African city of Tangier, where every secret has its price, a café dancer from Madrid is determined to bring a Nazi collaborator to justice and catches the eye of a down-and-out war correspondent. Take one false step: A married college professor is inveigled by an old flame into a midnight drive. The very next day, she vanishes. The professor's friend convinces him that he's a prime suspect and should investigate before he's arrested. But this only puts him in a more deadly kind of danger when the trail leads him to the crime ridden streets of San Francisco.
