This issue contains at least two stories: "Merry Chase" featuring mystery writer Curtis Chase, whose bag is retrieved by police, leading to the discovery that an escaped convict has been following her, holding her captive at "The Glen" until police locate and rescue her; and "Cathy Hodges," about an Olympic swimmer and amateur sleuth who investigates a murder and jewel robbery, discovering the culprit and clearing her name. A third story involves police officers Barry and Tex responding to a stolen car case from New York, which leads to a dangerous confrontation and the apprehension of a criminal.

Curtis ChaseMerry Chase

When an escaped convict crashes into his estranged twin brother's home, he seizes the chance to steal a new life—assuming Andrew's identity, his wealth, and his place at the bank. But as Dave Benton settles into this stolen existence, cracks quickly form: a cell-mate recognizes him, his brother's daughter suspects something's wrong, and a suspicious dog won't stop growling. Curtis Chase and his wife Merry soon find themselves drawn into the unraveling deception, and they're about to discover just how far a desperate man will go to keep his secrets buried.

Cathy Hodges (Olympic swimmer)

Olympic swimmer Cathy Hodges arrives at a quiet mountain resort for a well-deserved rest, only to discover a drowning at the lakeside—and a suspicious swimming instructor who seems far more interested in jewels than saving lives. When Cathy finds herself in danger after uncovering the truth, she must use her wits and swimming skills to survive and help bring the culprits to justice alongside her determined detective friend.
