The Chink in the Armor

The beautiful light-haired, blue-eyed Sylvia Bailey — married at 19, and already a widow at 25 — is enjoying life on her own in Paris. She even carries with her a symbol of the freedom she feels: a string of pearls — a superb necklace she wears nearly everywhere she goes ... Yet those pearls will take her to the brink of disaster — and propel her new, dear friend well beyond!

Lowndes (1868-1947), sister to Hilaire Belloc, wrote both historical novels and murder mysteries, with The Chink in the Armor ranking among her finest.
