Synopsis: [from the back cover] "A NEW ERLE STANLEY GARDNER CHARACTER, Sheriff Bill Eldon, solves: THE CLUE OF THE RUNAWAY BLONDE: She was beautiful and a stranger. Her body was found lying face down in a freshly plowed field, not far from the mansion where Marvin Higbee had died, leaving his wealth to a pack of quarrelsome relatives. There were no tracks in the soft earth around her, neither her own nor a man's. But somewhere between the house and the corpse waited the clue to greedy murder. THE CLUE OF THE HUNGRY HORSE: Lew Turlock switched on the stable light and saw of woman's leg sticking out from a stall. Then he looked at her face. She was the wealthy and glamorous Lorraine Calhoun, her head caved in by the ironshod hoof of a frightened mare. Lorraine's father called her death an unforgivable mistake; the D.A. called it a tragic accident; but Sheriff Bill Eldon called it murder... and proved his point!"
