G. W. Thomas serves up five mysterious tales from cozies to hard-boiled. Three tales feature Jessie Roland, Conservation Officer who solves strange cases in the wilds of British Columbia. "From Thy Face I Shall Be Hidden..." is the story of Cain and how he was framed for murder. The clock is ticking. Can he clear his name in twenty-four hours? What are these dark secrets surrounding his family? The last tale is "The Case of the Windermere Woman" (with M. D. Jackson) , a humorous cozy set in the art salons of Edwardian London with hints of Oscar Wilde.
