A classic novel of romance and mystery in a World War II factory!

"A magnificent mystery romance!" (Marshfield Wisconsin News-Herald)

"Nancy Youngblood is a lovable character, with a mind as fast as a high-speed camera. Fascinating." (Cincinnati Enquirer)

Meet Nancy Youngblood, a blithe and vivid heroine of an investigating disposition. When Nancy inherits a minor interest in a factory soon to become vital to the winning of World War II, she sees it as a chance to get closer to Robert Dalhart, who has taken over the factory on his father's death. Nancy has always loved him but because they grew up together on the same block Robert thinks of her as a kid sister. But soon sabotage, murder, and strikes threaten the plant and Robert - who evidence suggests may be the culprit, perhaps as an agent of the German government.

Nancy's heart tells her he is innocent despite the incriminating circumstances. But when the body of an unidentified man is found behind the house opposite hers, she begins to suspect something much larger and more sinister is involved. Nancy braves threats, kidnapping, and even Robert's interest in a very attractive woman to save him from being wrongly arrested and tried. But nothing deters her from attempting to solve the mystery and rescue the man she loves from the slings of ill-fortune...until she finds herself helpless in the hands of a ruthless killer.
