| Description: | The Tyler family was as a whole “handsome and civilized and worthy of paradise.” “Very Important People.” etc. There is only one “lemon in the basket,” according to his wife, no peach herself, and that’s Rufus, decidedly ordinary. A beer drinker. But the lemon doesn’t really sour until the family is involved in an international emergency. The young prince of Alalaf, a foreign country belligerently hostile to the U.S. is sent to America for emergency treatment by young doctor Tyler. In the meantime, innocent Americans are being held as hostages until his safe return. The visit is supposed to be ultra-secret but Rufus spills the beans. Unable to comprehend the consequences or his family’s disapproval, Rufus is goaded by his wife into the realization of one thing . . . here is his opportunity to make the history books.—Kirkus Reviews [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Lewi, Charlotte Armstrong
Charlotte Armstrong Lewi (1905-1969) was an American writer and poet. She began her career as a poet (several poems appeared in the New Yorker) and playwright (two plays ran briefly on Broadway), but soon turned to writing suspense novels, her first three being conventional detective stories. A number of Armstrong's stories are inverted mysteries in which the identity of the criminal is revealed early. In other novels, suspense is created by a race against time. Under the names Charlotte Armstrong and Jo Valentine she wrote over 29 novels short stories and plays.
