Julia Clara Catharine Dolores Birk Olsen Hitchens was born in San Antonio, Texas. She worked as a nurse and as a teacher before she started her writing career. She wrote a large number of lightweight mysteries, mostly in the cozy tradition, but she also wrote a pair of hardboiled mysteries featuring a private eye named Jim Sader, books squarely in the Chandlerite tradition. Her first book, A Clue in the Clay, was published in 1938. She produced almost 50 books over the course of her career.

Lawyer Chuck Sadler may be in his 70's but his faculties and his legal knowledge are still sharp. When his favorite niece's husband dies under suspicious circumstances, suspicion falls on her and she turns to Uncle Chuck for help. There are too many questions raised when Dorrie Chenoweth's husband is found next to his wrecked car and the police suspect it was not an accident, but murder. As Sadler digs into Sargent Chenoweth’s accounting business he finds shady business deals, stock market manipulation, and a love nest with a luscious 20 year old friend of Dorrie's. When the young woman is also found dead Sadler begins to wonder if Dorrie is as innocent as she claims to be.
