The advertisement, complete with box

number, appeared in New York newspa-

pers: "Will anyone having information

about an infant abandoned in Manhattan

twenty-eight years ago please communi-

cate."

Katherine Derwith had placed the ad-

vertisement. In love with a very proper

lawyer, she had refused to marry him un-

til she solved the mystery of her parent-

age. Somehow she had to find the

answers to questions that had haunted

her for years; Who had left her, a young

baby, in a shadowy corner of a Hudson

River warehouse? Why had she been

abandoned?

Among those who answered her adver-

tisement was Carl Dietrich, a television

newsman. Although he disclaimed any

knowledge of her origins, he offered to

help her in her search. Katherine, how-

ever, had an uneasy reeling that he was

not dealing straightforwardly with her.

Her instinct was correct.
