But when one of the buyers at Doane's Department Store is found dead at her desk it becomes a matter not just for the police, but for Miss Ethel Thomas, who, at seventy-five, becomes a most unlikely detective as she attempts to unravel not only the murder, but the mysterious losses that have been plaguing the store. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAre the two related? And if so, who is the culprit? Charlie Doane, the owner of the store, Herbert Hastings, Doane's brother-in-law and manager of the store, or the dead woman's son? Or was the murder a woman, Beth Oliver or Eva Sutton, both of whom are more than just store clerks? And what does Mrs. Kelly know that has made her a target?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCortland Fitzsimmons was born in Brooklyn, New York (possibly Queens) on June 19, 1893 and died July 25, 1949 in Los Angeles, California. After attending New York University and The City College of New York, he worked for some time as a salesman for several book distributors and publishers before turning to writing full time in 1934. Most of his works as a writer were mysteries, a number of which were based on sports themes such as 70,000 Witnesses: A Football Mystery, Crimson Ice: A Hockey Mystery, and Death on a Diamond: A Baseball Mystery. A number of his novels were made into films and he moved to Los Angeles to work as a screenwriter. His last book was a cookbook that he co-wrote with his wife Muriel Simpson You Can Cook If You Can Read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 07, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53751225778483,"sku":"9781937022983","price":27.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/lqwxQfRqvz9781937022983.webp?v=1785280494","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-whispering-window-an-ethel-thomas-detective-story-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
