They quickly bought up almost every Ursula Parrott book on the drugstore shelves. But what produced a bitter-sweet romantic sighing in Ursula's readers fetched another emotion in the breast of the FBI. Ursula was charged not just with love's old sweet song gone boogie-woogie but with aiding the desertion of an army prisoner...
