The Meredith Mystery — Natalie Sumner Lincoln

The Meredith Mystery: The mansion named Ten Acres, not far from Washington Cathedral, dates from the Colonial period and offers views over the entire city. The owner of the house is found murdered, and one of the weekend guests, David Curtis, a blind physician, undertakes to discover the murderer. The police suspect Anne Meredith, the murdered man's niece, but David has fallen in love with Anne and cannot believe the circumstantial evidence against her.
