The Veiled One

In a grim setting beneath a shopping center, Dorothy Sanders uncovers a woman's body concealed under a dirty velvet curtain, prompting an investigation led by Inspector Michael Burden. Initially without his mentor, Chief Inspector Wexford's guidance, Burden navigates a series of missteps while trying to solve the puzzling murder of a middle-aged housewife. As Wexford's unexpected hospital stay complicates matters, Burden must rely on his instincts and skill to coax a confession from a promising suspect.
