Summary: "The Secret Pact" by Mildred A. Wirt is a mystery novel written in the early 1940s. The book introduces readers to Penelope Parker, a young and ambitious aspiring journalist who finds herself entangled in a series of mysteries while exploring the complexities of her newfound newspaper venture. From the very beginning, the story hints at a thrilling blend of intrigue and adventure, as Penny encounters a mysterious couple on a riverboat and a young woman named Tillie Fellows, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of crime and deception. At the start of the book, Penny Parker is aboard the excursion steamer "Goodtime", accompanied by her friend Louise Sidell, where they quickly notice a young couple behaving suspiciously. The foggy atmosphere serves as a backdrop to their observations, including a pickpocket incident involving a distraught Tillie who loses her purse amidst the crowd. Penny shows her kindness by offering Tillie five dollars to help her through a tough time. As they disembark, they suspect that one of the mysterious passengers may have committed theft.
