Joan and Janet Markham now comfortable in their new home, are about to open the empty bedrooms as a bed and breakfast. Before they set an opening date, a man shows up at the door with his luggage.

Constable Parsons stops by to announce he is looking for an escaped convict, a conman. They tell them of their new guest and two other gentlemen of the same age that have just arrived in the area.

With plenty of suspects, the Markham sisters want to know who is the conman.

A short cozy mystery that is a light enjoyable read. ( )
