Lady from Argentina
By James Pattinson
A chequered past makes for a dangerous present…
If Brian Craig had known more about Adelaide Lacoste he might not have been so ready to help her when she was in trouble.
It had to be acknowledged that she was a very charming young woman, and he found himself irresistibly attracted to her, but Miss Lacoste had a chequered past.
She had had adventures in France and Spain and latterly in Argentina. Now there were two killers hunting for her, and her only thought was to run away.
But the trouble followed her, and now it’s spilled over on to Craig…
