Description: **Large print edition.** Steffanie Malden comes in to consult Perry. She is the young attractive bride of a prominent successful physician who was just killed in a private plane crash, named Dr. Summerfield Malden. Malden was the pilot and lone occupant. The body is charred beyond recognition. Sad, but why does she need a criminal lawyer? She thinks her husband was stashing away a great deal of cash taken in payment from his patients. She is afraid the IRS is onto this. She also thinks his head nurse, equally young and attractive, has some of the money. Not only that, but it looks like Dr. Malden rented an apartment as a "love nest". The nurse, Gladys Foss, disappears. (Hence "fugitive nurse".) The complications mount up. The police have evidence that the plane crash was not an accident. Before long, Steffanie is arrested for murder.
