Rebecca Marsh: Mystery in Nevada

Mystery in Nevada by Rebecca Marsh was published by Signet in September 1970 for its Rainbow Romance line. Katherine Smith is a detective who gets caught up with a visiting celebrity and finds herself suspect in his murder!

This is a very early cover by Allan Kass and it's interesting to see the difference with his regency covers just 10 years later. Our couple are outside and distinct while the background is indistinct and almost fuzzy. Our heroine wears a dress and scarf that look like 1970 while the hero's sweater and collared shirt could be from any date. Kass illustrated a few books for this series.
