The Iron Lung Mystery: A Double V Mystery: No. 6

By Jacqueline T. Lynch

Elmer and Juliet are called to help an attorney who is settling the estate of a deceased victim of polio, who had been treated in an iron lung at home. At the time of his death, he was visited by his estranged brother. Both men were found dead. The estate will be bequeathed to the family of the brother who survived the other, even by minutes, so Juliet and Elmer must determine who died first.

But a greater mystery is revealed involving wartime secrets and unsettled scores.

Late summer of 1951 takes them on a train trip to Boston, to reunite with an old friend, to dance at Vaughn Monroe's nightclub in Framingham, and to change the life of a neglected child. Polio stalks a nation in summertime, and drive-in restaurants and drive-in movies start to dot the new highways.

If you like the romance and charm of a classic film, this "cozy noir" will remind you of an era when character-driven stories were elegant, subtle-and pop culture of an era past comes alive again.

Danger...will come when least expected.
