Armchair Fiction presents large, deluxe editions of classic mystery-crime novels. Renown 20th Century mystery writer Octavus Roy Cohen spins a real web of suspense with his tale called “Lost Lady. In Hollywood anything could happen. Working the Hollywood night watch was a good gig for Sergeant Danny O’Leary—that was until 112 pounds of female dynamite walked in. Her name was Iris Kent. Iris was the kind of woman who had way too little to do and way too much money. She was also the kind of dame who obviously wouldn’t be caught dead mixing with two-bit Hollywood cops. But that didn’t stop her from making eyes at a whole room of them, and she had set her gaze squarely on Danny O’Leary. She had come into the station to file a missing persons report on her missing sister; tagging along was her sister’s husband, Dean Halliday. But once she had O’Leary alone, Iris Kent spun a wild tale about a dead sister and a ruthless brother-in-law who she was sure had gone out of his way to make himself a rich widower.
