When the housekeeper of a New York City magnate reports that a young woman from her staff has gone missing, both the disappearance and the housekeeper’s behavior strike the police as odd. The senior detective, Mr. Gryce, detects a few decisive clues which elude his younger colleague charged with the investigation, Q.
A Strange Disappearance is the second outing for Mr. Gryce. Much like the earlier novel, The Leavenworth Case, he does not often take center stage, but his interventions are decisive in unravelling the mystery.
