Description: Very rare Hard Cover edition of Washington Shadows by Ada Mixon 1942 Dorrance & Company Publishers In fragile, damaged condition with some pencil drawing in this very rare edition, definitely needs some TLC — see photos for more insight & to be sure this is the book for you! From the opening pages: AUTHOR'S NOTE This story is concerned with the lesser spy service in Washington during World War Number One and bears no relation to the great established investigation agencies of the Government such as the Secret Service or the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These true and tried organizations are well known bureaus, unequaled in efficiency and reliability and their work is in-valuable. During World War One each Government establishment set up its own spy service, deemed necessary to insure the loyalty and trustworthiness of each one of the army of new employees. Naturally these untrained sleuths often made mistakes which led to embarrassing situations, incalculable worry, and a train of complications little short of ludicrous. This is the story of one such mistake and its results. It does not refer to real people or real events, but is mere fiction. The characters in this story are creatures of imagination, not taken from life, though it is hoped they will be found true to life.
