The Silver Cobweb

Mary Ann Fedder, a pretty twenty-one-year-old girl was preparing for her wedding in a couple of weeks to a local boy called Russell Westlake. What possible reason could Whitey Swenke - a hired killer already wanted on three charges of murder - have for chasing her through the little town of Dorset and shooting her down in her own home? This was the problem confronting the State Police. Young Ralph Lindsey on his first assignment to the police barracks captured Swenke, but this was only the beginning and he soon found himself in trouble not only with Carl Podres, the proprietor of a local roadhouse and the glamorous night-club singer, Amy Bell, but also with his superiors, who on receipt of two anonymous notes decided that he was causing far too much trouble for a young trooper.
