THE SHOALS OF HONOUR
Basil Hazeltine has learned to live by his wits. As elegant and educated as he is, his only real talent lies in survival. He relies on his friends and relatives to supply him with spending money. Hazeltine himself has no interest in earning a living. His lack of ambition has already lost him the love of his life, Jocelyn, to his cousin Lewis Martinsburgh. Now Martinsburgh wants him to help him out with a young lady who holds some rather compromising letters he wrote her.
It's all spending cash to Hazeltine. He is happy to help his volatile cousin. But Hazeltine has to make a decision. He can't go on like this forever. So when Miss Huested, an older woman with a small fortune, comes to him with a proposal of marriage, he is faced with a dilemma-whether to maintain his self-respect and steer clear of the shoals of honor, or live a life of compromise and expediency. And then Jocelyn comes back into his life...
The Shoals of Honour is a story of New York City in the mid-1920s, filled with the contrary characters that Holding wrote about so well in her many mystery novels. Also included are six short stories from this period from the pages of The Century and Munsey Magazines.

DEATH WISH
Poor Mr. Delancey. His wife Josephine belittles him, controlling his purse strings and managing his life. It's understandable that one might grow a bit resentful. His best friend, Robert Whitestone, is a frustrated artist. Whitestone hates his wife, and is in love with a young girl named Elsie who has come to stay with their neighbors, the Luffs. But Whitestone has a plan to free himself, and naturally Delancey is pulled into the middle of it, willingly or not. And when Mrs. Whitestone is found drowned, what can poor Delancey do? He has to help his friend, no matter what the consequences. If only his wife weren't so hateful about the whole thing, so unreasonable. It's only when young Hugh Acheson comes to visit and begins an investigation of his own that things become really complicated. Poor Mr. Delancey--what's a man to do? It's enough to drive a person to murder.
NET OF COBWEBS
Malcolm Drake had been a merchant seaman, but has returned from the war a changed man, his nerves completely frayed. Now he lives at his brother Arthur's house, with his sister-in-law Helene and her sister Virginia--and their domineering Aunt Evie. Aunt Evie only wants what is best for Malcolm, of course, but when she drops dead one evening at a party, the rumors quickly spread that he had something to do with it. Dr. Lurie is sure that Malcolm had loaded her glass with alcohol, inducing a heart attack. The butler, Ben, even claims to have seen him do it. One of the guests, Aunt Evie's young prot g , Ivan Jenette, has news to the contrary, but has conveniently disappeared. Their neighbor, Lily Kingscrown, believes in his innocence, but there is something decidedly strange going on at her house--her own maid goes into screaming fits for apparently no reason. And now the police have some questions of their own. Malcolm is enmeshed in a neb of cobwebs, and the strands are growing tighter by the moment.
