320 pp. When Edward Anthony and his friends arrive at the idyllic island of Nyatt for a relaxing sailing trip, they quickly find themselves embroiled in a web of bootleggers, counterfeiters, and kidnappers. After a night of unexpected violence, Anthony and the beautiful socialite Ellen Strong vanish without a trace. As a frantic search begins, dark secrets are revealed and no one is above suspicion - not even the island's most prominent citizens. With time running out, can the truth be uncovered before it's too late? Sidney Williams weaves a gripping tale of deception and murder set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era New England. Featuring colorful characters, nail-biting suspense, and unexpected twists, Mystery in Red is a classic Golden Age whodunit that will keep you guessing until the very end.
