A Chief Inspector Pointer Mystery!After a chance meeting on a Channel ferry, reporter Martin Blair had no expectation of meeting the "Fairy Princess" ever again. He had no idea that when he wrote an article for his paper after attending an inquest into the supposed accidental death of a woman, that Joan Ingilby, the person that his article implicated as a murderer would prove to be the very same woman. But was she in fact guilty of the crime? When she comes to him professing her innocence, Blair decides to prove her innocence only to find himself surrounded by suspicious characters, each of whom seems to be hiding something. Fortunately, Chief Inspector Pointer is called in to handle the case for Scotland Yard. But can even the chief inspector untangle... The Net Around Joan Ingilby?

The identity of the author is as much a mystery as the plots of the novels. Two dozen novels were published from 1924 to 1944 as by Archibald Fielding, A. E. Fielding, or Archibald E. Fielding, yet the only clue as to the real author is a comment by the American publishers, H.C. Kinsey Co. that A. E. Fielding was in reality a "middle-aged English woman by the name of Dorothy Feilding whose peacetime address is Sheffield Terrace, Kensington, London, and who enjoys gardening." Research on the part of John Herrington has uncovered a person by that name living at 2 Sheffield Terrace from 1932-1936. She appears to have moved to Islington in 1937 after which she disappears. To complicate things, some have attributed the authorship to Lady Dorothy Mary Evelyn Moore nee Feilding (1889-1935), however, a grandson of Lady Dorothy denied any family knowledge of such authorship. The archivist at Collins, the British publisher, reports that any records of A. Fielding were presumably lost during WWII. Birthdates have been given variously as 1884, 1889, and 1900. Unless new information comes to light, it would appear that the real authorship must remain a mystery.
