Excerpt from The Story of Dorothy Jordan For the knowledge which I have been so fortunate as to obtain I am grateful to many friends. First and foremost to Mr. A. M. Broadley, who, possessing a large number of Mrs. Jordan's autograph letters and other documents, suggested the writing of this book, lent me all he had on the subject, and gave many of the illustrations. Mr. Broadley had already caused the registers of and around Waterford - the place usually assigned to her birth - to be searched, and as these gave no proof, pointed out to me the place where it might be - and was - found. It was he, also, who instituted inquiries at St. Cloud, the place of her death, and successfully discovered valuable evidence.

“It was surprising what old experiences remembered could do to a presumably educated, civilized man.” And Hugh Denismore, a young doctor driving his mother’s Cadillac from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is eminently educated and civilized. He is privileged, would seem to have the world at his feet, even. Then why does the sight of a few redneck teenagers disconcert him? Why is he reluctant to pick up a disheveled girl hitchhiking along the desert highway? And why is he the first person the police suspect when she is found dead in Arizona a few days later? Dorothy B. Hughes ranks with Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith as a master of mid-century noir. In books like In a Lonely Place and Ride the Pink Horse she exposed a seething discontent underneath the veneer of twentieth-century prosperity. With The Expendable Man, first published in 1963, Hughes upends the conventions of the wrong-man narrative to deliver a story that engages readers even as it implicates them in the greatest of all American crimes.
