A classic mystery detective thriller by Louis Tracy. One night in New York, a member of high society on his way to a party is dragged into the Hudson River, beaten and robbed. His body isn't found and he's missing, assumed dead. The only clue is that his attackers apparently mistook him for the powerful Senator Meiklejohn. A suspect - Rachel Craik, who approached the senator in the crowd before the murder took place - is arrested. As a result her niece, Winifred Bartlett, an 18 year old orphan, is dismissed from her job after she's called to the police station to stand as witness. It turns out the two are connected and Winifred slowly realises there is something in her past which means certain powerful people want her out of the way.
