description: A blackmail story with a difference, told in inimitable fashion by the gifted Elizabeth Ferrars. Alex Summerhill was the confidante of thousands of readers of the daily newspaper to which she contributed a weekly advice column. Her warmhearted counsel went out all over England, to distracted lovers, women with faithless husbands, men with faithless wives, parents with difficult children, children with difficult parents and young men wanting to find the perfect woman. Occasionally she received letters confessing to quite serious crimes. Realising what a perfect goldmine her correspondence could be for anyone with a slight leaning to blackmail, Alex took exceptional care of the letters sent to her by readers. But it was a letter that didn't reach her that precipitated murder.
