More DescriptionHildegarde Withers -- schoolteacher and occasional detective -- has just planned a grand European tour when Germany invades Poland. So she heads to Hollywood, trading the Louvre and the Vatican for the Brown Derby and La Brea tar pits. After just three days, she's offered a job as a technical adviser to a film of the Lizzie Borden story. The job is perfect, for no one knows murder like Miss Withers.
