title: The Mailbox
author: Forbes, Mary Jane
description: Elizabeth Stitchway, mail carrier, did not know that in the span of a few minutes on this day a hurricane would slam her mail truck into a flooding canal, that a body careening down in the rushing water would be snagged by her half submerged vehicle, or that a stranger would come to her rescue only to disappear before the police arrived on the scene. When the mystery man left a note in a mailbox asking the mail lady for her help, Elizabeth's curiosity was aroused. Who was he, why did he pull a Houdini, was he involved in murder? Little did she know that these events would catapult her into her dream of one day becoming a private investigator-two strangers inextricably drawn together-but were they ready for what was to follow?
