Little Boy Lost — Lesley Egan

Was it a miracle-or a murderous masquerade? Los Angeles attorney Jesse Falkenstein has some chilling, all-too-true-to-life bedside reading; a case from "Unsolved Mysteries of the Twentieth Century". Twenty years ago, on a sweltering September night, a child named Tommy Traxler was kidnapped from his nursery. His parents paid a $100,000 ransom-but never saw their son again. Now someone claiming to be long-lost Tommy Traxler has suddenly appeared...on the doorstep of his wealthy (now widowed) mother. Much to the dismay of Jesse Falkenstein's client - heretofore Mrs. Traxler's sole heir and assign. All of which leads our counselor through a tangled web of deceit, treachery and murder before he learns the unbelievable truth about the restless ghost of little Tommy Traxler.
