Man Missing — Mignon G. Eberhart

The Sleuth Wore White

The eminently capable Sarah Keate is an impeccable nurse. But when one of her patients, the handsome Lieutenant Parly, is found murdered in his bed, she must become a consummate detective, as well.

Almost everyone at the naval base is suspect. Could it have been the upstanding commanding officer whose bravery Parly loudly questions? The officer's loyal navy wife? The attractive and ingenuous young widow seen at Parly's bedside the night of his death?

Nurse Keate must find the answer quickly. For Lieutenant Parly has left a legacy of lies, twisted intrigue, and a deadly enemy who stalks the hospital halls -- and wants Sarah Keate to be his next victim.
