    About this audiobook

    MEET AMY BREWSTER, THE FEMALE NERO WOLF

     

    A Matter of Policy is an enthralling listen that begins when a young friend of Amy Brewster finds his life in jeopardy after an unknown mastermind insures it for one million dollars. When a private detective hired to protect the young man is the first victim, Amy Brewster must think fast and act faster if she is to learn who is behind the plot on the young man's life in time to save him. 

     

    Is it Tosta Kaaren, aka the Canarsie Swede, a platinum-blonde nightclub singer whose real name is Toots Carlin? Or Paulie Paulec, the local crime boss who has a finger in every racket in town? Or playboy Lance Torrey, whose sources of income are suspect at best? 

     

    This is one of three suspenseful Amy Brewster mystery reprints by the legendary Golden Age mystery writer/editor Sam Merwin, Jr., available for the first time in audiobook format!
