DEATH OF AN INTRUDER

Miss Allison has been taking care of everyone else all her life. After the death of her aunt, it is time for her to take care of herself. So she buys a nice little house, fixes it up just the way she wants it, and settles down to her cozy, single life. Then there is a knock at the door. The woman on the doorstep seems fairly ordinary-just like any other middle-aged woman, just like herself, in fact-but after introducing herself as Miss Withers, the woman walks right in. And spends the night. And the next. In fact, nothing Miss Allison says makes the least impression on Miss Withers. And nothing she can do will budge her. Miss Withers is here to stay, taking over Miss Allison's life one room at a time. And that's when Miss Allison decides that her only solution is murder.
