Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 8vo. Quarter black cloth, brown cloth boards. 235 pp. Lightly chafed to extremities, light staining to upper boards. Dust jacket is lightly bumped to spine head. This is a powerful suspense novel based on an ingenious plot to wrest a fortune from an eleven-year-old heiress. Blonde Alice is kidnapped in Baltimore; she reappears in Norfolk as the black-faced, kinky-haired niece of Negro Bessie McKay. Pushed across the color line, she becomes invisible to the white community and the people searching for her. On the surface this is a highly entertaining novel, written in a deceptively light-hearted manner. But beneath the humor lies an unforgettable reflection of man's capacity for corruption and his infinite ability for disguising it with self-righteousness. And beneath the violence and melodrama lies a deep respect for the resources of the human spirit as a remarkable little girl and an indomitable old colored woman come to grips with each other -- and with the harsh realities of their respective worlds.
