The Red Lacquer Case

Young Sally Meredith is distracted from her jam recipes by a visit from her uncle Fritzi, who is accompanied by a mysterious red lacquer case containing a deadly secret. A band of unscrupulous international agents are close behind, and when the eccentric uncle disappears into the night the lacquer case is stolen. But Sally is now the only person who knows how to open the case without destroying its contents - and she is kidnapped, her life in terrible danger. Meanwhile Bill Armitage, formerly Sally's fiance and still in love with her, begins with the aid of Scotland Yard to search for her.
