Politics, poker ... and murder! This 1910 mystery-romance is set in a slightly disreputable gentleman’s club. When her father vanishes, a beautiful young girl seeks the help of a well-meaning but inept lawyer. He struggles to solve the case, helped and hindered by a detective, a newsman, and a pair of charming elderly ladies.
A beautiful girl seeks the help of an attorney when her father vanishes. Before long, her aunt also disappears-- from a locked house in the dead of the night. The search leads to the White Cat, an infamous establishment frequented by crooked politicians. And then--murder.
THE WINDOW AT THE WHITE CAT is another in the famous "Had-I-But-Known School" of mysteries founded by Mary Roberts Rinehart with the publication in 1908 of her first work, THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE. The focus of these stories is the Gothic heroine--always in the wrong place at the wrong time trusting the wrong people.
