Murder Breaks Trail

An Alaska Vintage Mystery

Beschreibung

Set in Alaska in the late fall immediately preceding Pearl Harbor, Murder Breaks Trail involves a Congressman, a Senator and his daughter, an Alaska politician, a pretty schoolteacher, an airplane pilot and a grocer on vacation-marooned near a small lake where their plane came down. Against the approach of winter and the mounting tensions among themselves there occur murder and unexplained comings and goings in the new and ever-deepening snow.¿

Autor

Eunice Mays Boyd (1902-1971) Eunice was an award-winning mystery writer during the Golden Age of Agatha Christie. Her books are intelligent, cozy whodunnit murder mysteries with many twists and turns. She loved to read mysteries and prided herself in identifying the murderer well before the end. After graduating from UC Berkeley in 1924, she moved to Alaska where she based the F. Millard Smyth mystery series: MURDER BREAKS TRAIL (1943), DOOM IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN (1943), and MURDER WEARS MUKLUKS (1945). A fourth book in the series, ONE PAW WAS RED will be forthcoming. She co-authored THE MARBLE FOREST that was made into the movie "Macabre" (1958). Eunice's new vintage murder mysteries were discovered fifty years after her death. DUNE HOUSE (2021) and SLAY BELLS (2021) are set in San Francisco. A VACATION TO KILL FOR (2022) takes place in France.
