The white angel : a mystery

Gray, John, 1946- author

Overview

\"A work of fiction inspired by the cold case of Janet Smith, who, on July 26, 1924, was found dead in her employer's posh Shaughnessy Heights mansion. A dubious investigation led to the even more dubious conclusion that Smith died by suicide. After a public outcry, the case was re-examined and it was decided that Smith was in fact murdered; but no one was ever convicted, though suspects abounded-- from an infatuated Chinese houseboy to a drug-smuggling ring, devil-worshippers from the United States, or perhaps even the Prince of Wales ... [This work] draws an artful portrait of Vancouver in 1924 in all its opium-hazed, smog-choked, rain-soaked glory\"-- Provided by publisher.
