MINNESOTA mystery writer Mabel Seeley (1903-1991) was enormously popular from the late 1930s through the 1950s. Her mystery novels were published by Doubleday in New York and distributed nationally by The Crime Club. In The Whistling Shadow, heroine Gail Kiskadden finds herself at the very center of a vortex of violence and impending disaster in her own Lake of the Isles neighborhood in Minneapolis. Recommended for mystery lovers of all ages including young adults.

All four of our beautiful Afton reprint editions of Mabel Seeley’s classic mysteries feature new cover paintings by St. Paul artist Paul S. Kramer.
